Donovan Catholic High School, Toms River, will host the third GriffinFest Party in the “Quad” (quadrangle) June 13 starting at 6 p.m.

According to Madeline Kinloch, director of advancement and alumni relations, GriffinFest began as the celebration of the 50th anniversary of St. Joseph/Monsignor Donovan High School in the spring of 2013 as a way to inaugurate the newly renovated Quad. Students, parents and patrons sponsored the Griffin Pathways with engraved pavers, benches, tables and solar lamp posts which can still be purchased at any time. 

Highlights of the 2015 GriffinFesat include a performance by Bally Haunis, a band created by school band director Harold Frazee and several alumni which will provide the music for the evening. A number of alumni who now own restaurants donated the food and beverages.
