Leadership Development
Central to the educational mission at Resurrection is to provide young women with opportunities to become strong, confident leaders. Members of the Class of 2020 were inducted into the Freshmen Council at a
candle lighting and induction ceremony that was held with all members of the freshmen class on November 21, 2016.
As an opportunity for students to grow into leadership positions starting from the beginning of their high school experience, one student from each Freshmen Seminar was selected to represent the Class of 2020 in regular advisory meetings with the school's principal.
Congratulations to Resurrection freshmen
Zuzu Al-Harbi
,
Malak Abu-Hashish
,
Maggie Duda
,
Jacey Gagnon
and
Rosemary Mullaghy
who were inducted as the Freshmen Council for the 2016-17 school year.

Shawn Mendes Concert @ Res
Friday, December 9, 2016
As students and parents know, Resurrection College Prep was announced as the winner of a once-in-a-lifetime visit from
musician
Shawn Mendes through Chegg Music 101.
Chegg
,
the online book company and student hub, in partnership with
one of the largest and most successful national youth tobacco prevention campaigns,
truth
, sponsored this contest. School administrators have been working with these organizations on specifics of the event.
Watch for the final details next week
regarding the Shawn Mendes concert at Resurrection for our students on
Friday, December 9.
Times are subject to change, but we anticipate that the event will begin after school with a pre-concert program at 3 pm, including a DJ and the presentation of a $10,000 grant for the Resurrection music department from Chegg's David B. Goldberg Music Scholarship fund. The pre-concert program will be followed by the Shawn Mendes performance at approximately 4 pm. Students will need to wear their school ID and will need to be in uniform, or they may wear their special Shawn Mendes concert t-shirts if they purchased one.
We will keep students and parents informed about the timeline for the events as soon as details are confirmed with the sponsoring organizations.
We are looking forward to a great event for our students!
