Thursday, April 23 was in the inaugural “Skirt Off to College” event where seniors were invited to paint their skirts to wear for the remainder of the school year and leading up to College Decision Day! The event gave the girls an opportunity to socialize with their classmates and use their artistic talents to represent their future after McAuley. We can’t wait to continue this tradition in the coming years!

Upcoming Events

Friday, May 8 is the Senior BBQ and Senior Olympics as the class of 2026 spends their final day of school at Mother McAuley. The students will attend the first five periods of their day followed by a lunch provided by the Student Life department. After lunch, the girls will participate in the Senior Olympics in teams formed by their religion classes. Each religion class has a color, a walkup song and has participants for various different games. This afternoon should be an enjoyable time as seniors conclude the school year together as a grade! May the best religion class win!
