Sixteen students were named All-League by the Independent School League for this fall. 

Students heard from Sr. Nancy Downing, CND, the CEO of St. Ann’s Center for Children, Youth and Families. Sr. Nancy shared stories and an inspirational short film, "In Her Words,” about the challenges young mothers face and how the programs at St. Ann’s provide housing, education, and job support to help these women rebuild their lives.

Last Friday, the fourth floor of Founders Hall turned into a "geopolitical battleground" for a Model UN conference with students from St. Anselm's Abbey School, said Model UN moderator Dr. Luke O'Connell.
