Why here — the dossier

  1. Est. 1898
    Founded in 1898 — 128 years of history.
  2. Yard legends
    Alumni on record: John "Mule" Miles, Rolando Gómez, Gertha Lockett Murphy.

Every highlight comes from the Yard roster — nothing invented.

Band spotlight

VERIFIED ABSENT — not an unverified section: St. Philip's College has no marching band. Its music program consists of credit ensembles — Concert Choir, College Chorus, Jazz Show Choir, Jazz Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble, Instrumental Chamber Ensemble, and Music Theatre Workshop — and the campus is home to the Watson Fine Arts Center. Music shows up in campus life (the 1931 student singing quartet that toured for fundraising; a drumline leading the 2022 Legacy Day Second Line Parade), but there is no collegiate marching band to profile, and none was invented.

From the Yard roster. No videos are shown — none verified official and rights-clean.

Admissions

Head to head

Stack St. Philip's College against another school — real roster fields only.

Identity only: facts on this page come straight from the Yard roster. Missing fields are omitted, never invented. No logos or brand colors are shown — none verified on file. Letter chips are generic monograms, not school marks.
