Dear Magnificat Community,
On May 21, we celebrated the Class of 2019 as they walked across the stage and received their diplomas at Magnificat's 61
st
annual Commencement ceremony. We congratulate our graduates on the many things they accomplished during their time at Magnificat and wish them many blessings on the next steps of their journey!
While the school year has come to a close, there are many exciting things happening on campus this summer, including our Summer Programs for girls in grades 1-9 and leadership workshops for current students. We are also very excited to announce that when the 2019-2020 school year begins, there will be air conditioning in all of our classrooms and athletic facilities.
Thank you for all that you do to support our students and this school community!
Gratefully,
Moira Clark '77

Magnificat Celebrates 61st Commencement Ceremony
On May 21st, the class of 2019 participated in Magnificat's annual Commencement ceremony in the Performing Arts Center. Over 1,000 family members, friends, and loved ones attended the event and watched these accomplished young women cross the stage and become a part of the Magnificat alumnae community.
Chosen by her classmates to deliver reflective remarks on their high school experience, Brigid Naughton described how lucky this class was - and all Magnificat students are - to attend a school that is "so much better than 'normal.'" Click
here to view a recording of her speech.
Among the class of 2019 graduates, 99 percent will enroll in a two- or four-year college. In total, the class of 2019 was awarded an impressive $20 million in scholarships to put toward their postsecondary education.
Congratulations to our newest alumnae! We can't wait to see the many ways you will make an impact on the world!

"Pomp and Circumstance: Graduation Programs Reflect Magnificat History and U.S. Cultural Trends"
This month's
Archives Antics
feature, written by archivist Mary Cay Doherty, was inspired by a request from the Communications department and examines the school's history through graduation programs - which is fitting, given the time of year.
***
"Recently, the Communications department asked me for examples of Magnificat's past logos. A moment of panic set in-especially when I realized that no research had ever been done on this topic. I was starting from scratch. Fortunately, I stumbled into the perfect "logo" resource - graduation programs. Beginning at the beginning with our 1959 graduation, I moved forward in 10 year increments to follow changes in our logos as depicted on five subsequent graduation programs in 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999, and 2009.
I scanned the graduation program covers and sent them to the Communications department via email. Mission accomplished.
But then I wondered... When did these logos change? What else might we be able to learn about Magnificat and U.S. history using these six specific programs as our guide? So let's cue the march, don our graduation garb, dust off the programs, and settle in for another Magnificat time travel adventure."
