Dear Cardinal O'Hara Family,
This time of year is full of excitement and fanfare. O’Hara is always buzzing with activities and students sharing in the JOY of our accomplishments.
A few highlights of the past week:
The Academic Honors Convocation took place on Wednesday, May 1st at 7:00 in the auditorium. This program honors our top 10% in each of the classes, the Mu Alpha Theta members and the NHS officers. The guest speaker was a 1983 graduate of Cardinal O’Hara, Mrs. Lorranie Ranalli. Ms. Ranalli congratulated and recognized all of the God given talent in the room. She encouraged the students to dream big and follow their dreams to make them a reality. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!

Please encourage your child to finish strong. The year is not over until that final exam is complete and they are passing all academic subjects. I hope to have the exam and end of the year schedule ready to be published next week. Until then, enjoy the sunshine and bring your books outdoors to study.

Mrs. Diane Casey
