Eight Bishop Stang High School legacies were celebrated earlier this year in the school’s inaugural Maroon & Gray Soirée and many of these community-driven individuals have made their mark right here in Dartmouth.

The event, which drew more than 300 alumni, families and supporters, honored the 2025 inductees into the school’s Hall of Fame and Hall of Honors — a group whose collective achievements span athletics, education, service and community leadership.

Jean Revil, a longtime Dartmouth resident, was inducted into the Hall of Honors for her 33 years of service at Bishop Stang as Theology Department chair and Campus Minister. She was known for developing thoughtful courses like Thanatology and for co-founding the school’s Faith In Action Together Program. 

Beyond the school walls, Revil was engaged in the community as a communicant of St. Julie Billiart Church, a volunteer with My Brother’s Keeper in Dartmouth and a member of the Catholic REC Ministry at the Dartmouth House of Correction for over 20 years, guiding others in faith both in and out of the classroom.

The Lafrance family, also honored in the Hall of Honors, has long supported the school’s capital projects from the science lab and library renovations to athletic field upgrades. 

Their local business, Lafrance Hospitality Company, has played a key role in regional event hosting, particularly through Rachel’s Lakeside in Dartmouth, which opened in 2002 as part of the company’s restaurant and banquet expansion. According to Stang, the business’ leadership and generosity has helped sustain countless Bishop Stang gatherings and celebrations.

In the Hall of Fame, Sarah Roy Longo ’02 was recognized for her standout high school athletic career in field hockey, basketball, and softball — sports she excelled in at both Stang and Assumption College. 

Longo now coaches field hockey in the Dartmouth Girls Athletic League, bringing her athletic experience back to the community where it began and mentoring young athletes on the same fields she once played.

Peter Clark ’92 was honored for his contributions on the field and in service. A football, baseball, and track star at Stang, Clark continued his football career at UMass Dartmouth, where he played quarterback before serving as a U.S. Army officer and Green Beret in Afghanistan. 

Today, he remains committed to public service as a district chief with the New Bedford Fire Department, with responsibilities that regularly bring him to Dartmouth and nearby communities.

Brad Curtis ’75, a longtime South Dartmouth resident, was recognized not only for his achievements as a three-sport athlete at Bishop Stang, but also for his decades of local coaching and leadership. 

He has coached New Bedford Little League, Pony League baseball, Boys and Girls Club basketball and Bishop Stang lacrosse. Curtis currently serves on the Fall River Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors, is active in the St. Mary’s Men’s Group and holds a position on the Bishop Stang Board of Directors, staying deeply involved in both youth development and school governance.

Attendees at the soirée enjoyed school tours, a social hour, open bar, food stations, a silent auction and plenty of moments to reconnect. Given the event’s success, Stang hopes to continue the tradition for years to come.
