Congratulations to the Class of 2020 nominees for the Sister Anne Medal of Distinction in Faith, Leadership & Service: Zuzu Al Harbi, Taylor Crawford, Abigail Kroll and Rosemary Mullaghy.
The award is named after Sister Anne who was the Sister who bought the land the school now stands on and who founded the first Resurrection High School. She earned a doctoral degree in biology, taught French, and was a brilliant leader with a compassionate heart and a deep trust in God.
Candidates are nominated by the faculty and then interviewed by a committee. Candidates share how faith is important to their life and how they live and share faith with others. The winner of the Sister Anne Medal will be announced as part of the Virtual Graduation Ceremony on June 25, 2020.

Senior Portraits - Class of 2021
Traditionally, senior portraits have been scheduled for the first week of June. Due to current circumstances, portraits will not be taken this summer. Portraits will be taken at some point during the school year for the Class of 2021. Once the details are known, members of the Class of 2021 will receive notification from Ms. McGrath and LifeTouch, our photography company. At this time there is no set timeframe for the photos as there are too many unknown factors.
