Letter from the President
Dear Alumna,
I hope you had a wonderful Easter holiday with your family! It is hard to believe that in less than a month, the Class of 2023 will graduate at The Cathedral of Mary Our Queen and will officially become alumnae of The Catholic High School of Baltimore.
Many of our Senior events are well underway. Next week, Miss Catholic High, Caroline Cucuzzella, will have the honor of crowning the Blessed Mother at the May Crowning ⏤ a long-lasting tradition at Catholic High.
This edition of the Alumnae Monthly Update showcases the many accomplishments of our talented students. You will also find ways to stay connected and support Catholic High such as attending our Spring Fling or Cub Classic Golf Outing. I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events!
Lux Tua Luceat,

College Plans for the Cubs
This month's edition of From the Archives features the Class of 1990 as they pose for a photo in front of the iconic columns shouting "Look out world, here we come!" The 1990 Troubadour states that the Senior class anticipated careers in medicine, law, business, and science, as well as, education, child care, nursing, and counseling.
This week, students from the Class of 2023 wore their college T-shirts to showcase where they will attend this Fall. They, too, anticipate careers in medicine, engineering, law, education, and more!
