“The group of students before you [is] bold and courageous, yet inquisitive, thoughtful and sensitive to the needs of others,” she said, addressing her classmates, Stuart faculty, parents and friends in the Cor Unum theater. “We are a grade filled with immense talent, and more importantly, with grit and determination – determination to show up for one another, to uplift others within our communities, and to push ourselves beyond our comfort zones to grow as people, leaders, and changemakers.”
Stuart’s Class of 2025 will attend 25 different colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. They pursued and found admission to selective music and creative writing programs, campus communities that reflect Sacred Heart values, the desire to be part of an all-women’s educational environment, and the opportunity to play collegiate field hockey and lacrosse. One student was also selected as one of approximately 2,500 QuestBridge Scholars. In terms of popular fields of study, 40% of Stuart seniors intend to major in STEM fields; one-third plan to study the social sciences, and 15% plan to major in business.
Highlights of the year, St.-Maurice said, included participating in the school’s production of “Cinderella,” athletic programs, celebrating 100 days with younger Stuart students and a senior trip to Disney World.
“And now we stand before you today, marking a milestone moment … a time to celebrate who we’ve become, the memories we’ve created and the challenges we’ve overcome,” St. Maurice continued. Their high school years closing a chapter rooted in purpose, service and leadership, as well as the Sacred Heart Goals and Values, “will continue to permeate throughout the many phases of our lives, both professionally and personally, serving as an invisible yet unbreakable bond between us.”
