Teeing up for Reunion Weekend!

When we graduate from Academy of the Holy Names, we have a lifetime membership to this community. At AHN, we were reminded to "Be You! Be Anything!" and as an alumna, it is vital to share our time, talents, and treasure with our students and fellow alumnae.


I am excited to join AHN as Director of Alumnae Engagement. It is an opportunity to share my time and talents with what I treasure, my AHN family. Throughout the year, you will hear from me as I engage in conversation with our alum seeking opportunities we can donate our time, talents, and treasure and be together. I look forward to hearing from you, and hope to see you for Alumnae Reunion Weekend on October 4 through 6, and the AHN Golf Classic and Clinic on Monday, October 7!


You can reach me at kamcdermott@ahns.org.


God Bless!
