Middle States Re-Accreditation Update

Stakeholder Surveys

We are in the process of conducting a Self-Study as part of our Middle States Association (MSA) Re-accreditation and are committed to keeping you informed with periodic updates.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the June Middle States Stakeholder Survey. Your thoughtful feedback is an essential part of our Self-Study process and will help shape the future direction of Holy Names.

In the coming weeks, the Self-Study Planning Team will invite members of our community to serve on Standards Committees. Throughout the fall, these committees will review the survey findings, examine additional evidence, and evaluate our level of attainment of the Middle States Association Standards.

I would like to share a brief overview of the aggregate survey results from both the stakeholder and the student surveys, first the stakeholder survey.

Project Updates

Upgrades to Seating in The Commons

We're working diligently all summer to make some upgrades -- both large and small -- around campus, and will update you periodically as we complete them.

Today, we're happy to report the booths in The Commons, which had some very noticeable wear-and-tear, have been refurbished!

New Liturgical Vessels

Also, thanks to some generous donors, we have brand new Liturgical Vessels so we can continue our commitment to Liturgy as inspired by the charism of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary.

Gymnasium Floor

FIRST LOOK!

We’re not done yet, but we wanted to give you a little sneak preview of the newly refurbished gymnasium floor, home to you Panthers!

Up next: the addition of new wall padding, and the installation of plates/donor recognition signs on the bleachers.

Panthers Updates

A belated congratulations to Maeve Joyce, who, after her standout performance at sectionals, put on another show, this time at Nationals!

At the New Balance Nationals for Outdoor Track & Field in Philadelphia, Maeve finished 18th out of 103 competitors in the 2 mile run. Way to go!

Upcoming Dates:

Fall Sports Start: 8/24
