Letter from the President
Dear Alumna,
February was a busy month for Catholic High as we celebrated Black History Month, raised funds for technology and annual giving, and welcomed the newest class of Daughters of Catholic High!
It fills me with great pride to see the many accomplishments of our alumnae throughout the years. Included in this Alumnae Update are two recent alumnae formulated great friendships and passions at Catholic High and continue to let their light shine. We would love to hear about the many ways you are currently shining in your community, career, and beyond. Please keep us updated through our Class Notes form found on our website and in this newsletter.
On behalf of Catholic High, I invite you to join us at upcoming events such as the Spring Musical, The Addams Family, the annual Wine Tasting & Dinner, and the annual Spring Fling. I look forward to seeing you in the halls of TCHS this Spring!
Lux Tua Luceat,

McElroy Inspires the Next Generation
On February 24, Catholic High welcomed back Ms. Molly Jean McElroy '13, alumna and proud founder of the Beautiful Me Campaign!
Ms. McElroy founded Beautiful Me during her Senior year. Her goal was to help women who battle with eating disorders and negative body image find a path to recovery, just as she did in high school. Since 2013, the Beautiful Me Club has been a strong presence in our school community. The Club focuses on helping our young women feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. We thank Ms. McElroy for speaking with our students every year and for sharing her inspiring story!
