2018 Alumnae Weekend

More than 120 graduates of Mount Saint Joseph Academy or Junior College were on hand May 20, 2018, for Alumnae Weekend, celebrating a sunny day with all the “Mount girls.” A good time was had by all.

Anna Mattingly, class of 1966, and Paula Chandler Gray, class of 1973, were honored with the Maple Leaf Award, which goes annually to two graduates who personify the values of their Mount Saint Joseph education in contributions to their local faith communities, civic communities and/or Mount Saint Joseph.

Here are some photos from the day.
