With the wrap on the fall athletic season, Director of Athletics Mary Veith ‘05 held an awards ceremony to honor student-athletes during assembly on Monday, November 18. 

“One of the things that has always most impressed me about Visitation students is the love and support you show one another, and so I am excited for the opportunity to honor our athletes’ accomplishments and celebrate them as a community,” said Veith.
