Letter from the President
Dear Alumna,
I am truly blessed to be a Daughter of Catholic High and to have the privilege of working in this remarkable ministry. As you read through this edition of the March Alumnae Monthly Update, you will be amazed at the talented young women of Catholic High. From excelling in the sciences to growing as leaders in their community, the students at Catholic High make me proud each day.
I extend my thanks to everyone who attended our annual Wine Tasting and Dinner this past Sunday. The event was well attended by many alumnae, parents, and friends of TCHS. Please consider purchasing a table at our next event, the Spring Fling, on May 5 at Columbus Gardens. This is a great opportunity to gather classmates, family members, and friends for an enjoyable evening to benefit the young women of Catholic High!
May God bless you, always.
Lux Tua Luceat,

STEM Biomedical Concentration is Paving the Way for Women in STEM |
Catholic High's STEM Biomedical Concentration and on-staff Medical Coordinator, Dr. Celia Caballero, MD, are truly paving the way for our young women in STEM, especially our young women of color who were featured in a WJZ interview on March 15!
Our Jesse James Hinson Clinical Simulation Lab allows Biomedical students hands-on experience before ever stepping foot into a college course. The Program also empowers our young women to grow and learn in a nurturing and small class environment.
Catholic High is proud to offer our students a variety of courses so they feel confident entering the field of STEM after high school. Dr. Caballero is thrilled to offer an even more unique experience next year in the areas of Histology and Pathology. We can't wait to see how our students transform the world in the future!

Four Alumnae Employed at Whiting-Turner Give Keynote Speech at Career Day
This year's College & Career Day was a huge success! On March 3, students enjoyed a keynote presentation from a team of four alumnae who are employed at The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company! The team consisted of Kellie Bowen Montgomery '94, Amy Jones Foos '97, Julie McMahon Bruce '00, and Colleen O'Brien Demko '02.
The Whiting-Turner team educated our students on the numerous job opportunities that they have to offer. Students then broke into sessions to hear from three different panels: Women in Leadership, Women in STEM, and Preparing for College.
We thank our 13 alumnae for coming back to Catholic High to share their careers with the next generation!

The Alumnae Christmas and Giving Project Update
During the month of March, The Giving Project made a donation of snacks, toiletries and personal items to Angels Supporting Your Troops. These items are sent to service members overseas who ask for specific things they have trouble getting for themselves. This organization mails 13-15 boxes, three times a month. Military members greatly appreciate that others are thinking of them while they are deployed.
The Project was also contacted for help by local school personnel to assist recent fire victims. Thanks to your generous donations, the Project was able to provide clothes, underwear, pajamas, jackets, hats, gloves, shoes, socks, toys and backpacks for individuals of a variety of ages.

If you are interested in donating or volunteering, please reach out to me at the contact information provided below.
Gratefully,
