100 years of tradition, friendship, and educating women.
Support the legacy of our Centennial through the purchase of a Locker Plaque or Brick Paver
We are filled with immense pride and excitement as we eagerly approach Mount St. Mary Academy’s Centennial Anniversary in 2027. 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 Lockers and Brick Pavers. This special initiative offers you the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on our school’s history.
Locker Plaques
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. It’s 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 will now be able to leave your mark in the form of a locker nameplate above one of our school’s lockers for the next 100+ years.
Please join us in making the upcoming Centennial Year memorable and meaningful by dedicating a locker. 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.

Brick Pavers
On October 14, 2025, Mount St. Mary Academy celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the school’s groundbreaking in 1925. In tribute to our founders, the Sisters of St. Mary of Namur were presented with the inaugural Mount St. Mary Academy Centennial Brick Paver. These bricks will be placed along the path of the MSM Grotto to honor our school’s history, and embrace our exciting future. We are especially thankful to the pioneering Sisters who, a century ago, had the courage and vision to establish our school, and to all the Sisters who have since followed in their footsteps, faithfully carrying forward their mission. On behalf of all Mounties, past, present, and future, we thank them for giving us not only a place to learn and grow, but a home we will cherish forever.
Leave your lasting mark on Mount St. Mary Academy by purchasing a Centennial Brick Paver! Each brick purchased will line the path to the MSM Grotto as a reminder of our rich history and exciting future.
Centennial Brick Paver – One-time fee of $150
*Up to 3 lines of text per brick
