PURPLE KNIGHT ALUMNI
MENTOR PROGRAM
PKAMP is a network of St Aug Alumni available to support the school’s student mentoring program. It will provide the school’s senior-level students with guidance from you to assist the student and their parents on making important decisions on the student’s future after graduation.
Value of Mentorship
Mentorship programs are important because they foster professional and personal growth for mentees by providing guidance, skill development, and expanded networks, while also benefiting mentors with leadership opportunities and fresh perspectives.
St. Augustine Alumnus Value
The primary goal of the PKAMP program is to start with the Class of 1975 and expand the
network from there. Our hope is that you, an accomplished St. Aug alumnus is willing to take
advantage of an opportunity to ‘share your personal story’ and make a tremendous impact on the
future lives and professional career decision-making process with an ambitious student that is
about to graduate from St. Augustine High School.
