The Class of 2025 Commencement was filled with so many memorable moments, including four truly inspiring speeches from our students & faculty.
Join us in congratulating Amanda Schuler - Valedictorian, Addison Haywood - Salutatorian, Chloé Berten - Student Speaker, and Mrs. Rita Fitzgibbons Fox '72 - Faculty Speaker! We are MIGHTY proud of their leadership and the powerful messages they delivered to the Class of 2025.
MacNation kicked off the morning with a cart ride to congratulate Ryann O'Sullivan '27 and Grace Regalado '27 on being selected for the 2026 All-State Production of Newsies!
We are MIGHTY proud to celebrate the achievement of our alumna and Board of Trustees Chair Elect, Betty Harn '82, who was recently named President of Marquette National Corporation and President & CEO of Marquette Bank! Stated in a quote from Crain's Chicago Business, "Harn becomes the only woman to currently hold the top job at any of the largest 25 Chicagoland banks."
Congratulations to the entire company of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on a sold-out weekend of dazzling performances! The talented cast, crew, and pit orchestra spent countless hours rehearsing, dancing, and designing sets and costumes, all to bring this extraordinary and colorful production to life.
Twenty-eight students from the Class of 2026 have been recognized as Illinois State Scholars. The Illinois Student Assistance Commission presents this important recognition of academic achievement to exceptional Illinois high school students annually.
What an incredible moment as Pope Leo XIV poses with a McAuley t-shirt! Our very own chaplain, Father Tom McCarthy, O.S.A., recently visited with Pope Leo XIV and shared a piece of our Mighty Mac spirit by presenting the t-shirt and heartfelt letters from our students, advocating for Catherine McAuley's sainthood.
