On International Day of the Girl, we celebrate the girls who bring all of these, and so much more, to our classrooms, our community, and our world.
At Holy Names, girls are encouraged to find their voices, explore their passions, take risks, and lead with purpose. Research shows the girls’ school advantage extends to leadership, confidence, academic challenge, and STEM. ICGSByTheNumbers2023

🌹 Mother Marie Rose Day 🌹
Today we honor Blessed Marie Rose Durocher, foundress of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, and the legacy of faith, courage, and service she began more than 180 years ago.
Her vision lives on in our students, in the compassion they show, the community they build, and the ways they are called to use their gifts in service to others. 💗
Many hands. One circle. A legacy carried forward. 👑
May we continue to lead with love, serve with purpose, and live out Noblesse Oblige in all that we do. 💖
