Letter from the President
Dear Alumna,
It was an exciting month as we celebrated the 82nd graduating class of Catholic High ⏤ the Class of 2024! This Tuesday, many family members and friends gathered at The Cathedral of Mary Our Queen to witness the Seniors receive their hard-earned diplomas. I am beyond proud of this year's graduating class for receiving over $12,000,000 in college scholarships, grants, and awards and being accepted into more than 150 colleges and universities. I am certain that these seventy-seven young women will let their light shine and transform the world as they begin their new journeys beyond Catholic High.
I hope to see you at our two remaining events of the year ⏤ the summer Alumnae Social at the Crazy Tuna Bar & Grille on June 13 and our annual Cub Classic Golf Outing on June 24. More details can be found in this newsletter.
As the school year comes to a close next week, I want to thank all of you for supporting this wonderful institution throughout the school year. Have a safe and restful summer!
Lux Tua Luceat,

Have a wonderful summer,

We continued with the procession on May 8 by crowning the Blessed Mother on the front lawn.
