🥳Congratulations to the Class of 2026!🥳
It has been a joy to watch this remarkable group of students grow throughout the year. The eighth graders began the year preparing for high school through school visits, applications, and shadow days at their prospective schools. Amid these preparations, they continued to excel academically across all subject areas.
On Wednesday, we celebrated their accomplishments with a beautiful Commencement Mass and Graduation Ceremony. This year, we were honored to award a new scholarship established by the Wu family in memory of Nurse Catherine’s late husband, Johnny Wu. The $1,000 Johnny Wu Memorial Scholarship was presented to Vibha Sitaraman in recognition of her outstanding achievements, leadership, and contributions to our school community. Congratulations, Vibha!
We also introduced our inaugural S.T.A.R.S. Award, recognizing a student who exemplifies the values St. Mary’s holds dear: Service, Truth, Academic Excellence, Respect, and Spiritual Growth. The S.T.A.R.S. Award was presented to Adira Jones in recognition of her consistent demonstration of these values throughout her years at St. Mary’s as a student.
We will miss our graduates dearly and are excited to see all that they will accomplish in the years ahead. We wish them God’s blessings as they begin this next chapter of their educational journey! 💙🎓
