The senior class hosted "Welcome Day" on Wednesday to welcome the freshman class, any new high school students, and new faculty/staff.
Senior sisters give gifts to the new students/staff. A breakfast of bagels, gluten free muffins, juices, and hot chocolate was served.
Welcome Day is a long-standing tradition, but this is the first year since the pandemic began we were able to resume the breakfast.

AHN Launches New
Communications Club
|
|
|
|
By David Perritano,
Club Moderator
|
It started as a casual conversation and photo-op at this year’s Ice Cream Social. Now that snowball may have created an avalanche. Rosie McDonnell, a ninth grader, and her friends sat around a table in the Student Commons posing for the camera when we began to discuss the future of social media use at Holy Names and how students could become more involved in the process. Her proposal: “you should start a club.”
That’s exactly what we’ve done. Read more here.

It was also another winning week for the Panthers as Varsity tennis notched another victory over Emma Willard on Monday.
Varsity Volleyball remains undefeated in league play after shutting out Cohoes and Mohonasen both 3 sets to none.
Varsity soccer also defeated Mohonasen on Thursday, winning 1-0 on a goal by Anna Nichols.
