Kick Off Chrysalis 2025 Happy Hour!

As we eagerly approach Mount St. Mary Academy’s Centennial Anniversary in 2027, we are filled with immense pride
and excitement. This milestone not only celebrates a century of educating and empowering young women, but also marks
countless memories of friendship, growth, and shared experiences that have been made within our school’s walls. To commemorate this significant occasion, we are thrilled to launch our Centennial Locker Initiative. This special initiative offers you the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on our school’s history by dedicating a locker with a
personalized nameplate.

Many of us cherish the memories of standing by these very lockers gathering with friends between classes, meeting up
after school to grab our sports gear before heading to practice, and sharing those everyday moments that define our school
experience. These lockers have witnessed the laughter, camaraderie, and hustle of countless students over the years. “My girls have such fond memories of the Mount. As parents we see the foundation given by the Mount to our daughters both personally and professionally, so we see the yearly donation to the locker plaque as an annual celebration of the successful endeavors of our daughters.”
- Bob Najjar, father of Emily ‘06 and Theresa ‘08

This campaign is not just a fundraiser, but a tribute to the enduring spirit and community of our school. Your support will
help us honor the legacy of the many students and alumnae who have walked these halls and left their mark in their own unique ways. You now will be able to leave your mark in the form of a locker nameplate above one of our schools lockers for the next 100 years.

We invite you to join us in making the upcoming Centennial Year memorable and meaningful by dedicating a locker. Your
involvement will be a testament to the lasting impact and shared memories that define our school’s rich history. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school. Together, let’s celebrate 100 years of excellence and create a lasting legacy for future generations.
