First Week of Classes

AHN athletics is in full swing and the Panthers are on the prowl.

JV and Varsity volleyball held the homecourt versus Mohonasen on Monday.

Julia Viglucci's first place finish paced the cross country's victory over Ravena on Tuesday, while the tennis team picked up the first of its two victories of the week, topping Emma Willard, followed by a win over Voorheesville on Wednesday.

Varsity volleyball also notched its second win of the week Wednesday over Catholic Central.

Mother Nature did her best to put a damper on things Friday night for AHN Night at Christian Brothers Academy, but our stalwart community was not deterred with more than 100 people braving the rain to show their AHN pride!

The "Battle for the Sabre" may have been delayed until the following afternoon between CBA and the LaSalle Institute (CBA would emerge victorious), but our cheer squad, Penny the Panther, and the rest of the AHN team were happy to see so many of our students, families, alumnae, and friends at the tailgate.

Attention: alumnae.

You're invited to Alumnae Reunion weekend, September 22-23.

Join us for campus tours and activities on Friday.

On Saturday, we will be hosting the Circle of Gold and Silver Induction Ceremony, as well as unveiling our new history wall mural. A cocktail reception will follow.

On Sunday, we will now only feature a President's Reception to honor our athletes of distinction during our Hall of Fame Induction ceremony.

Please join us in welcoming in this year's class: the 2005 Cross Country Team, Leah Triller '14, Jennifer Smith Wade '03, John O'Sullivan P '12, Kristin McCoy '07, and Catherine Maloy '13.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Carlo Cherubino Athletic Hall of Fame dedication, originally scheduled for Sunday, September 24, has been postponed.

The event will now coincide with this year's Fall Sports Banquet on Sunday, November 5, at noon, here on the Holy Names campus.

Join us as we celebrate the legacy of Holy Names athletics by recognizing our fall athletes, presenting a special honor to all previous HOF inductees, and dedicating the new Hall of Fame.

AHN's Annual Golf Classic is set to tee off on Monday, October 2 at Normanside Country Club.

This year's competition features a pink twist, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting To Life!, an organization promoting breast cancer awareness.

Service is among the core values of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (SNJM). It’s also one of Tina Pantuso’s.

“Holy Names quickly became part of my calling,” says Pantuso, AHN’s newest Licensed Clinical Social Worker. “Truth be told, it wasn’t a part of ‘my plan’ but God opened doors for me to be here. I applied for a substitute teacher position with AHN and was contacted and told there was a part-time school social worker job available. With social work being where my heart is, of course, I applied…I love working with teenagers on their journey toward better mental health and loved the mix of that in a faith-based school.”
