ST. JOAN ANTIDA HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNA OF THE YEAR AWARD

Purpose: Instituting the first annual SJA Alumna of the Year Award is a means of supporting an alumnae relations program whose fundamental purpose is to create and nourish an active alumnae interest in and understanding of the following:

1. The mission and goals of their alma mater today.  The diplomas held by alumnae are only as valuable as the quality of the education which the school offers at any given time, so alumnae have a personal interest in the strength and vitality of the school today and into the future. 
2. The role of Catholic education in society.  Informed and interested alumnae can mobilize understanding and support of all the moral and practical manifestations of all Catholic schools.
