Here's a fun fact for you today. Of the more than 39,000 North Catholic grads, you were more likely to have a unique last name (shared by no other NC grads) than you were to have a name that someone had. There are a total of 12,110 different last names of alumni. Of those 12,110 names, 5989 were shared by at least one other alum, while 6,121 names were unique to those alum.
