By Dr. Martin Kilbridge

It has been discouraging, but not surprising to read stories in the local and national press about cheating, abuse, and financial shenanigans in college and high school athletic programs. The sad reality is that a win-at-all-costs mentality is nothing new in sports. The good news is this is not the case at Academy of the Holy Names where former Athletic Director Carlo Cherubino and his successor, Teagan Waddingham, have established an exceptional program in which athletic accomplishment is measured as much by the development of character as it is by wins and losses. 

Dr. Kilbridge Presents at Statewide Conference

A special prayer service was held to honor veterans throughout our AHN community.

Follow the link to view the complete presentation, which includes dozens of loved ones -- from students, faculty, and staff -- all of whom are veterans. We thank them for their service.

Middle Schoolers Headed to Capital

Thank you to everyone who made our Fall Open House such a smashing success!

Attendance this year was up 37 percent compared to last fall, making it the largest gathering for an open house AHN has hosted since 2018.

We couldn't have done it without the efforts of our student ambassadors, faculty, staff, coaches, parents, and alumnae volunteers who were on hand to showcase the best of AHN.

Guests were treated to campus tours, as well as presentations from senior Nicole Decker, parent Tara Cristalli, and alumna Laura Uhlig Hans '10.

The high school yearbook, Profile, is on sale through Monday, November 20 for high school students. There will be a new theme this year.

Every student is represented in the book, so make sure to reserve yours today!

All alumnae are welcome to come home to Holy Names to watch the Thanksgiving Song Contest on Tuesday, November 21 at 1:45 p.m.

Email Liz McGarry to RSVP.

• Bus departs AHN at 8:00 a.m. and drops off at Bryant Park around 11:00 a.m.
• Bus will depart NYC at 8:00 p.m., and return to AHN around 11:00 p.m.

With 213 students this fall here at Holy Names, we have seen a ten percent increase in enrollment over this time last year!

A Holy Names education is an investment in the future, and the benefits of an all-girls education are more attainable than ever thanks to a tuition-restructuring for the 2023-24 academic year.
