Class of 2010 Graduates on May 26

Congratulations and best wishes to our newest graduates.  The members of the Class of 2010 received their diplomas at Commencement on May 26.  Valedictorian, Kara McSweeney and Salutatorian, Catherine Dello Russo spoke eloquently about their experience here at the Mount and of their love for their sisters in the senior class.  This year's seniors were accepted at a wide range of colleges and universities across the country and received some impressive scholarships and awards.  We wish them well as they look forward to attending these colleges in the fall.
