Blakefield Magazine | Summer 2026

As another memorable school year comes to a close, we're excited to share the latest issue of Blakefield Magazine, filled with the stories that continue to shape the Loyola Blakefield community.

 

In this issue, we celebrate the Class of 2026 and our 174th Commencement Exercises, honoring the accomplishments of our newest alumni as they prepare to begin the next chapter of their journeys. You'll also hear directly from two members of the Class of 2026 as they reflect on their experiences, the lessons they've learned, and what Loyola has meant to them.

 

One of this issue's feature stories highlights Mr. Chris Cucuzzella '82 as he celebrates 40 years of service to Loyola Blakefield. A proud alumnus, former Loyola parent, and respected member of our faculty, Chris has spent four decades helping shape the lives of generations of Dons. We invite you to read more about his journey, his deep connection to Loyola, and the lasting impact he continues to make on our community.

 

The issue also celebrates faculty and staff reaching milestone years of service, honors those entering retirement, shares campus news and alumni updates, and offers a look ahead as we prepare to celebrate a historic milestone—our 175th year.
