Sr. Ann Marean Returns to AHN

Welcome back to Holy Names, Sr. Ann Marean, SNJM! She stopped by this week for a tour and a visit with Dr. Kilbridge, Admissions Director Ann Rento ‘81 P’14 ‘18, and BOT member Regina Scarano LaGatta ‘70 P’98. Sr. Ann is a former trustee and principal at the lower school (where Ms. Rento was a student). She also taught at the campus at 628 Madison. We can also thank her for hiring Mrs. Rose!
