Thank you to Courtney Astemborski ’10, Andrea Moore, Francesca Sajedi, Kayla Grossman, and Allison Sharp from Regeneron for giving our students a glimpse of life in professional STEM careers. The group visited AHN as part of Regeneron's "Day for Doing Good." Many current employees, as well as some interns have come from the Holy Names family. You can read more in the premiere edition of EQV magazine!

Congratulations to Riley Schmitz, who made it to the second round of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Girls Tennis State Championships! With her first-round win, she moved into the top 16 among 6,000 varsity tennis players in New York State.

Your Colonial Council Champion Varsity Volleyball team -- undefeated in league play during the regular season -- took three of four sets to bring home the win in its Sectional Quarterfinal matchup at home versus Lansingburgh. Next up: Averill Park on Wednesday.

On tap for Friday, Cross Country participates in the Colonial Council Championships, and it's Senior Night for our Cheer team at CBA.

A reminder: winter sports (basketball, cheer, indoor track) start November 13. Sign-ups are available on myAHN.

Please join us on Sunday, November 5 at 3:00 p.m. for the unveiling and dedication of the Carlo Cherubino Athletic Hall of Fame ahead of the fall sports awards banquet.

There is no cost to attend, but we ask for RSVPs no later than Monday, October 30.

That same afternoon you can join in the camaraderie to celebrate the accomplishments of our fall sports teams.

The annual Fall Sports Banquet will be held on Sunday, November 5 at 4:00 p.m. in the Riley Auditorium.

For more than 30 years, Academy of the Holy Names has honored its sophomores with a special ceremony. For 25 years, those students have received a special symbol to commemorate the day.

This week the class of 2026 received pendants representing their connection to their classmates and AHN.

The ceremony was followed by a day-long retreat in the Campus Arts Center.

IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE: Due to impending inclement weather on Sunday, our Trunk or Treat event has been canceled. We look forward to seeing all you ghouls and goblins next year!

Our November Open House is right around the corner! Know a family interested in learning more about the Holy Names experience? Have them join us on Wednesday, November 8!

We've added a new, fun surprise this year for attendees! You'll have to stop by our gym to find out!

We are pleased to announce plans for a Spring 2024 trip to Spain for interested AHN high school students, grades nine through 12. We will be traveling to the cities of Madrid, Seville, and Costa Del Sol March 29 through April 5.

There is a limit of 20 students for this trip so please register early. Payment plans are available. Email Ms. Rento with any questions.

Want to join our team at Holy Names? AHN has several vacancies, including a Chief Financial Officer and Spanish teacher! Visit our employment page for more information.

With 213 students this fall here at Holy Names, we have seen a ten percent increase in enrollment over this time last year!

A Holy Names education is an investment in the future, and the benefits of an all-girls education are more attainable than ever thanks to a tuition-restructuring for the 2023-24 academic year.

Know a family interested in learning more about the AHN experience? Have them reach out to Admissions Director Ann Rento at extension x202.

For only $10, these 9" (standing) AHN collectibles can be yours!
