May & June Traditions

Awards Assembly

The entire student body assembles for the last time before graduation as students receive awards for academic and co-curricular achievements.

Graduates Coffee

Mothers and daughters gather at an alumna's home on the Monday morning before graduation; this event also marks the new graduates' initiation into the Alumnae Association.

Baccalaureate Mass

Held the Monday evening before graduation, it marks the ending of one phase of life and the beginning of another with an inspirational, spiritual send-off for the new graduates.

Commencement

The best-loved and longest-remembered tradition...white dresses...bouquets of red roses... long white gloves ...Pomp and Circumstance...diplomas...class reception in the quadrangle...tearful farewells.
