Letter from the President
Dear Alumna,
As we approach Holy Week and await the resurrection of Jesus, we reflect on the many blessings in our lives, including the wonderful education we received at our beloved Catholic High. I am extremely proud of our young women for continuously being recognized in the classroom and in their extra-curricular activities. They are truly letting their light shine, just as you once did at Catholic High.
I encourage you to consider purchasing a table at our next fundraising event, the Spring Fling, on May 2, 2025. This is a great opportunity to gather with classmates, family members, and friends for an enjoyable evening to benefit the young women of Catholic High!
May God bless you and your family this Easter season!
Lux Tua Luceat,

Congratulations to United States Marine Corps Captain, Samantha Donatelli '15, for receiving the First Lieutenant Travis Manion Marine Corps Logistician of the Year Award! This award is one of the highest honors a Marine Corps logistics officer can receive.
Captain Donatelli was the logistics officer-in-charge with 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, which deployed as the Battalion Landing Team with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit in 2024. She is excited for her new journey to teach, train, and mentor the next generation of logisticians as an instructor at the Marine Corps Logistics Officer Course!

A formal invitation will be mailed to you soon! | | | | The Alumnae Giving Project |
Happy Spring to all our Alumnae!
From what I’ve gathered from speaking to other older alumnae, the Alumnae Christmas Project began in the early 1950s. So, as of this year, alumnae have been helping for about 75 years! That’s an impressive record!
During the month of March, the Alumnae Giving Project donated toward care packages that will be mailed to deployed United States troops. All gifts are given to "Angels Supporting Your Troops" which handles the wrapping and mailing of the gifts. The organizations aims to provide a small piece of home to soldiers who are protecting and serving the USA.
Please reach out to me if you would like to be involved with The Alumnae Giving Project!
Gratefully,
Bonnie Lee '60
