Campion Graduate Notables

Campion Graduate Notables...

There are probably as many Notable Campion Graduates as there are Campion Graduates, however here are some of the ones people have sent me as being particularly interesting.

Also, any graduate we know of who went on to become a Jesuit is noted for where they are currently located. Or at least the last we heard!

Some people attended Campion but did not spend all four years. They are shown with the year they would have graduated with an asterisk(*).
