From Sacred Heart Academy

HAMDEN, CT — Legacies from the incoming Class of 2021 were recognized at the recent Orientation for Incoming Freshmen. Eighteen members of the class have mothers who are alumnae and nine members of the class have a grandmother who is an alumna. Twenty-eight class members have one or more sisters who are current students or graduates of the Academy. Members of the entering class come from twenty towns and forty-two feeder schools.

“Sacred Heart legacy is again strongly represented in this class. We are particularly struck with the number of alumnae who are sending their daughters to Sacred Heart. The presence of these young women at the Academy is a testament to the importance that families place on the values learned here, and their desire to ensure that the Sacred Heart tradition continues,” announced Director of Admission Elaine Lamboley ’60 in welcoming the Class of 2021.

The Branford and North Branford residents following in their mothers’ and/or grandmothers’ footsteps were recognized at the recent Class of 2021 Orientation at Sacred Heart Academy.
