Supporting Mounties: Past, Present & Future
Each member of the board plays an active role in supporting Mount St. Mary Academy through connecting our alumnae, cheering on our current students, and participating in school events and fundraisers. The Alumnae Board is an extension of the Development Department and aids in Alumnae Stewardship and communications.
The Alumnae Board also governs the Alumnae Scholarship Fund, a means of financial assistance awarded each year to the relative of an alumna. The Board sponsors these four-year awards by fundraising, and oversees the award selection process.
