Each year, an alum is selected for their success and ongoing support of Geibel Catholic, and Catholic Education.
The 2023 Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to Lynn Cordaro Bainbridge.
Mrs. Bainbridge was born and raised in Connellsville and attended St. Rita School and Conn-Area Catholic School, before attending Geibel Catholic High School. She is a proud Geibel Graduate from the Class of 1971. She went on to California State College to study Speech Pathology, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in 1975 and a Masters of Education in 1978. Lynn worked with children who have special needs for 40 years in various Allegheny County schools, including the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Mr. Lebanon School District, and in private practice.
Lynn is married to Tom Bainbridge (class of 1967). They have a daughter, Nicole Carlini Singh, and granddaughter, Lily Singh, who reside in the Chicago suburbs. Lynn has spent many years volunteering with a number of organizations including St. Lucy’s Auxiliary to the Blind, Garden Club of Allegheny County, and St. Paul Cathedral in Oakland. She recently became a member of the Geibel Catholic Junior Senior High School Advisory Council. She looks forward to working hard with the Council and the greater Geibel community to help ensure the success of our school.
