From Sacred Heart Academy

HAMDEN, CT — Legacies from the incoming Class of 2021 were recognized at the recent Orientation for Incoming Freshmen at Sacred Heart Academy. 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 20 towns and 42 feeder schools.

“Sacred Heart legacy is again strongly represented in this class,” announced Director of Admission Elaine Lamboley ’60 in welcoming the Class of 2021. “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.”

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