Alumnae Survey Results
We appreciate each of you who took the time to respond to our recent alumnae survey. We received responses from alumnae who graduated in 1969 though 2020! 

Many of you talked about fond memories of Carondelet and expressed a desire to be more connected to the school, with our students and the alumnae living in your communities. The Alumnae Board will be in touch once we firm up plans for future activities.

For those of you that were too busy in December to respond, we have reopened the survey until Sunday, February 6 at 11:59 PM.
