We Will Always be ALLIN for AHN! | |
|
We are underway with ALLIN festivities in our community and I am so grateful for the support we've received from many of our alumnae. Please remember to be a part of this special day Wednesday. Your generous contribution will continue to support our mission, tradition, and core values that we cherish and ensures generations of young girls will also enjoy. Our alumnae community fortifies why we give and are all in this together to maintain the vitality of AHN!
God bless,
Katie Ann McDermott '98

Mrs. Pentak will Always be ALLINinforAHN
I am often asked “how have you managed to stay at the same school, teaching Physical Education for 40 plus years and still love going to school every day?” I reply, “That’s easy, I love what I do. I love working with amazing people and teaching amazing students. And yes, there are good days and bad days, but the good days outweigh the bad days, and no two days are ever the same!”
Academy of the Holy Names is a special place that felt like home the minute I had my interview
with Sr. Connie Casey in 1984. I knew that I was destined to work and grow here. Over the last
few decades, I have had the privilege of guiding generations of students, watching them grow
stronger, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. The relationships that I have built,
the lessons that I’ve shared (and learned) have given me a sense of accomplishment. In a
world that constantly changes, the core values of Holy Names and our motto “Esse Quam
Videri” (To be rather than to seem) remain timeless-and I am grateful to continue passing them
along. I truly love what I do and will always be ALL in for AHN.
