Dear Ursuline Community,
Here at Ursuline, we are entering that busy time of year, in which classes are beginning their preparation for final exams, student groups and sports are planning their year-end celebrations honoring their senior members, and we find ourselves wishing for time to slow down just a bit. As we prepare to wrap up our 175th year and send our senior class out into the world, it is with great pride that I look back on their four years here at Ursuline.
The Class of 2024 is the epitome of this year’s theme, together with confidence and courage. They entered high school during a global pandemic when many of us felt uncertain and anxious as we went about our day-to-day lives. While they may have been sharing those feelings on the inside, they came in excited for what their high school journey would be like, and with the confidence that they would still create lasting memories and friendships, even if behind masks.
With each passing year, the Class of 2024 continued to grow closer together, stepping up as leaders of the school, pushing the status quote, and always finding ways to celebrate each other’s uniqueness. They have united as a class that passionately advocates for themselves and others and wholeheartedly embraces the value of service to others. Even in times of doubt, they have lifted each other up and found the courage to forge their own path along the hallways of Ursuline Academy, a path that will surely shape the legacy of UA for the next 175 years.
Our Ursuline Mission is at the heart of everything we do, and this class is that mission fulfilled. Being able to provide an educational, social and spiritual path tailored to each student, then giving her the courage to learn, make mistakes, and boldly use her mind and voice in the world, is our commitment to our students. Seeing all the ways the Class of 2024 embodies our mission and the charisms of St. Angela, I cannot wait to see how they will impact the world.
Loyally,
