Greetings FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Friends of Mount de Sales Academy, The word “trending” is trending. I was surprised to find out this is not a 21st century word born out of social media trends but dates to 1398! Of course, trends, which by their nature come and go, exist in all areas of our world, including education. Through three decades in education, I have witnessed tracking students based on adolescents’ interest or aptitude, changing teaching techniques, and ways to progress through education faster to get ahead for what lies beyond high school. However, the 2,000-year-old Catholic liberal arts education is not a fleeting trend; it has stood firm and proven its value through the centuries.
While liberal arts education may have roots in ancient Greece, Catholic schools improved the model by centering it on the whole person: mind, body, and soul. Sights and minds are raised to a higher purpose, focusing on more than test scores and academic achievement; our goal is to form good human beings. The liberal arts education received at Mount de Sales Academy, in our 173rd year, has withstood the test of time as an education of the whole person. It encourages discovery within and outside of the self.
Catholic education is for a lifetime and the recipients stand out. You hear it from alumnae all the time: “you know a Mount de Sales girl.” MDSA girls, no matter their age, can spot each other and not just because of the ring. They recognize the uniqueness of MDSA instilled in those who have walked the steps and through the windows.
Thank you for joining the transformational journey of heart, soul, and intellect at Mount de Sales Academy!
Sincerely in Christ,
Sister Mary Raymond, O.P.
Centered on Jesus Christ and faithful to the teaching of the Catholic Church, Mount de Sales Academy offers young women a college preparatory education that promotes flourishing of the whole person. Anchored in faith and rooted in the Visitation and Dominican traditions, the community of Mount de Sales Academy is committed to academic excellence, virtuous integrity, compassionate service, and the inherent dignity of the human person.
Over its 172-year history, Mount de Sales Academy has evolved to meet the challenges of the modern world while remaining rooted in the Catholic liberal arts tradition. This term— “liberal arts”— reflects the rich heritage of American schooling and, in particular, the legacy of Catholic education.
The
Sarah von Lange ’16 reflects on the ways that MDSA’s liberal arts program shaped her current career as a Certified Physician Assistant at Deptford Medical Center in New Jersey (see center quote).
Her words reveal our school’s academic roots. Historically, the liberal arts approach emphasized a basis in grammar, logic, rhetoric, and general knowledge across disciplines. When we look back to the 19th-century opening of Mount de Sales, you may be intrigued to learn that in addition to familiar subjects, the first MDSA students in 1852 also studied mythology, the use of globes, rhetoric, botany, book-keeping, painting, tapestry, lacework and beadwork (Randt 52).
MOUNT DE SALES’ LIBERAL ARTS APPROACH
Modern American colleges echo this comprehensive knowledge by requiring core classes in each academic discipline before students narrow into a major. Steven Mintz of Higher Ed describes modern liberal arts programs as “an education that combines breadth and depth, that cultivates a capacity to engage rigorously and critically with the major issues of the day, appreciate culture in its multiple manifestations, and serve as the essential foundation for informed citizenship” (Mintz).
challenging coursework not only nurtured my passion but also prepared me to excel in my core science classes in college… which stood out when I applied to [Physician Assistant] schools. MDSA’s emphasis on academic excellence and exploration was pivotal in shaping my path toward becoming a physician assistant.
—SARAH VON LANGE ’16
As Catholic educators, our mission goes a step further. In 2023, MDSA faculty welcomed Dr. Brett Salkeld, archdiocesan theologian for the Archdiocese of Regina in Canada, to help explore education from a Catholic liberal arts perspective. If people are made to know, love, and serve God, the goal of Catholic schools should be to develop persons with “the framework within which to put [her] knowledge to work, to make sense of the world, to set priorities, and to make decisions” (Salkeld 27).
SHAPING MINDS, HEARTS, AND FUTURES:
A 2025 Sailor will leave MDSA college-ready and prepared to develop her God-given talents. Our core curriculum infuses young women with a solid foundation in Catholic theology, mathematics, lab sciences, English, social sciences, philosophy, fine arts, health, and physical education.
She has opportunities to complete 14 collegelevel AP courses, study computer science, compose college-level literary reviews, design and execute STEM-based research projects, and creatively express herself in advanced performing and visual arts courses. The philosophy program complements the academic mission by training students to seek truth, pursue the good, appreciate what is beautiful, and engage in discourse. At the same time, that indelible yearning for God is nurtured through the exploration of Scripture and Sacred Tradition, growth in personal spirituality, and connection to the Sacraments.
What are the fruits of a Mount de Sales education for our alumnae? Principal Sr. Mary Raymond, O.P. has often shared her thoughts on the essence of our liberal arts formation. Our alumnae are engineers, teachers, entrepreneurs, doctors, writers, Olympians, astronauts, religious sisters, mothers, and laywomen.And in all places, they stand out for their minds, hearts, and actions. Sailors think well, read well, write well, speak well, and do well. That is a testament that we are proud to carry into future generations.

Service Through Song!
Audrey Price ’27
“Our presence and our love are some of the greatest contributions we can make to society.”
This past winter, I had the opportunity to serve the elderly at Waterfalls of Catonsville Memory Care Home through my charism of music. About ten Mount de Sales girls went to the home to sing and play music for the residents—carols, songs, movie covers, and anything they would recognize and enjoy. At first, I was skeptical. The barriers of communication and memory loss seemed too great for music to bridge.
Yet, by the Lord’s infinite goodness, my experience was incredibly fruitful. The music we played truly spoke to the residents’ hearts. Some danced, sang, and clapped—one lady even preached after a song. The sounds of Heaven filled the room, and every face glowed with joy.
This experience led me to reflect on one of the deepest human desires: communion. Our hearts long for the peace and joy of our true home in Heaven. Jesus teaches that no gift is greater than communion and love, like the sacrifice He offered on the Cross. My encounter with these residents deepened my appreciation for music’s power—it transcends illness and touches the soul.
I realized the importance of sharing our God-given gifts authentically. The Lord generously allows us to be vessels in His plan for salvation and His greater glory. His invitation is gentle yet irresistible. I can personally attest to the abundant grace found in serving others, and I am so grateful to have witnessed it in my time with the elderly.

VARSITY BASKETBALL CAPTURES
HISTORIC IAAM CHAMPIONSHIP IN THRILLING OVERTIME VICTORY!
On February 16, 2025, the MDSA Varsity Basketball team won the IAAM “B” Conference Championship in a thrilling 54-52 overtime victory. This marked the Sailors’ first title since the IAAM’s formation in 1999 and ended a 40-year basketball championship drought, dating back to the 1985 Baltimore Catholic League championship. Led by six seniors, the team entered the season determined to overcome last year’s heartbreaking semifinal loss. They were focused on working hard and earning the championship. A December trip to Nashville strengthened team chemistry and set the stage for success. The Sailors had an outstanding 20-6 regular season. Senior Shelby Lewis reached her 1,000th career point and became the school’s all-time leading scorer. Entering the IAAM playoffs as the #1 seed, they defeated two strong teams to reach the final.
In the championship game, the Sailors, supported by a spirited crowd of Sisters, students, family, friends, and alumnae, triumphed over Notre Dame Prep in overtime to win the IAAM Championship.

SAILORS ON THE ROAD
BONDING, BASKETBALL, AND BLESSINGS IN NASHVILLE
In early December, the Mount de Sales Varsity Basketball team had the opportunity to travel to Nashville, Tennessee, where they competed against St. Cecilia Academy and visited the St. Cecilia Motherhouse, home of our beloved Dominican Sisters! MDSA won the game, and girls from both teams had tons of fun competing, exchanging gifts with each other, and connecting with a sister school. The Sailors played and won another game against a local club team, Tennessee Heat, who kindly agreed to come to St. Cecilia’s gym and compete!
Not only did the team get to play basketball, they also bonded off the court! Coach Trish Armstrong said, “Our trip to Nashville was amazing - seeing the girls bond with each other while playing basketball and visiting with the Sisters at the Motherhouse!”
Throughout the three-day trip, the girls enjoyed exploring the city on a sightseeing tour, eating famous Hattie B’s hot chicken, shopping downtown, and attending a Christmas show. From taking millions of pictures together to watching TV while wearing matching pajamas in the Airbnb, the whole trip was filled with fun! Parent organizer, Sheri Lewis, said, “It was so rewarding to be with a group of girls who truly appreciated the opportunity the MDSA community afforded them.”
The highlight of the trip was attending Mass in the beautiful chapel at the Motherhouse and receiving a tour from Sister Mary Rebekah who shared the congregation’s rich history and the beauty of the building. The girls were ecstatic, meeting numerous Sisters and connecting with an important piece of their MDSA family.
Visiting St. Cecilia Academy and the Motherhouse was an extraordinary and blessed experience. The team strengthened their relationships with each other, the MDSA community, and their faith!

A World of Pure Imagination:
MOUNT DE SALES PRESENTS WILLY WONKA
This past November, the Mount de Sales Performing Arts Department transported sold-out audiences into a world of pure imagination, presenting Willy Wonka as the fall musical! MDSA drama teacher Mrs. Marian Newell P’26 directed this delightful production which highlighted the talent of our students as they portrayed the colorful characters of this classic story by Roald Dahl.
Georgia Kelley ’25 was outstanding as the title character, inviting everyone on a wild tour of the chocolate factory. The noble protagonist Charlie Bucket was played by Emma Brady ’26, accompanied by Tyler Wisniewski MSJ ’26 as Grandpa Joe. Rebecca Knapp ’25, Charlotte Melka ’26, and Eason Gabe MSJ ’27 were hilarious as Charlie’s other three grandparents, bickering from their giant bed. Each golden ticket winner gave standout performances: Angelina Chung ’27 as the gluttonous Augustus Gloop, Averi Cain ’25 as the snobby Veruca Salt, June Newell ’26 as the competitive Violet Beauregarde, and Reagan Woody ’26 as the screen-obsessed Mike Teavee. The Street Kids were a highlight of Act I, led by Leo Kirby MSJ ’27 as the Candy Man. No chocolate factory would be complete without the Oompa Loompas, a great 18-member ensemble doing the bidding of Willy Wonka and giving fair warning about the consequences of the kids’ vices. The stage crew helped to create and transport the audience across the world and into the magic chocolate factory under the expert direction of stage managers Colleen Butler ’25 and Jo Hill ’25. From chocolate rivers and everlasting gobstoppers to seesaws and slides, the props and setbuilding teams worked hard leading up to the show and behind the scenes. Costumes, lighting, and sound were designed and managed by students as well. Mount St. Joseph’s music teacher Mr. Nathan Royer conducted the pit band full of talented instrumentalists from both schools, accompanied by a few professionals.
The Mount de Sales Performing Arts Program is grateful for the community members who continue to offer their deep and lasting support to the exemplary college preparatory arts education of our students. This support allows us to provide a safe environment for creativity and artistic expression for years to come!

Advocacy & Philanthropy
Your Crucial Contributions to MDSA
DID YOU KNOW THAT TUITION DOES NOT COVER THE ACTUAL COST TO EDUCATE A SAILOR?
MDSA, like almost all Catholic schools, was founded and staffed by a religious order. When the founding, cloistered Visitation order could no longer sustain running the school, they hired lay teachers and staff. Catholic schoolteachers and staff sacrifice salary to fulfill a mission that is making a difference for the students, the Church, and the world. Even still, education is costly. Approximately 2/3 of the MDSA budget is allocated to faculty and staff salaries!
$1,800 gap=
$819,000 needed in donations this year
ACTUAL COST
$20,575
Financial support outside of tuition is critical. *For the current 2024-2025 school year, the difference between tuition ($18,375) and the actual cost of educating a student this year is $1,800. This comes to roughly $819,000 in needed donations for this school year. Every annual gift to the Cupola Fund goes to fund this gap. TUITION

“Our goals, including raising $2M annually in philanthropy by 2030, are ambitious but achievable and necessary for the future of MDSA.”
Catholic Schools, Mount de Sales Academy included, rely on advocacy and philanthropy to survive and thrive. These crucial contributions are especially important for all-girl schools and schools serving economically diverse students.
How can you help?
Please, advocate for MDSA by sharing the mission and impact of MDSA with others. Through your advocacy, you may change the trajectory of a young girl’s life.

Sailor S oirée
Mount de Sales Academy is thriving, thanks to the unwavering support of our incredible community. Our students are achieving extraordinary milestones, enrollment remains strong, and volunteerism continues to grow. The generosity of our benefactors is making a transformative impact.
This year, we celebrated with benefactors at the Sailor Soirée on October 26, where over 60 guests gathered to reflect on the past year. Following Mass, Sr. Anna Laura and Sylvia Randle ’25 shared the profound impact of our Philosophy Program. Sylvia remarked, “In exploring the connection of faith and reason, I grew closer to God and better understood His plan for me.”
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for the Soirée, creating a memorable and joyful event. A sincere thank you to all who contribute their time, prayers, and financial support. Your generosity empowers us to fulfill our mission and enrich the lives of our students.

A Sweet New Tradition
On December 18, the Alumnae Relations Department hosted our inaugural Christmas Cookies and Cocoa event, welcoming over 60 recent alumnae back to campus. The afternoon was filled with joy and holiday cheer as attendees gathered in Alumnae Hall to enjoy festive treats and reconnect with beloved faculty and staff.
This delightful gathering offered our Sailor alumnae a perfect opportunity to kick off their winter break while reminiscing about their days at Mount de Sales Academy. We can’t wait to continue this tradition and look forward to welcoming the classes of 2022–2025 next year!

Alumna Spotlight
Molly Erin Grace Ferraioli ’03
St. Francis de Sales once said, “Do not wish to be anything but what you are and try to be that perfectly.”
Of the many lessons I learned during my four years at Mount de Sales, I think about this one daily. Not only did my high school teachers help me discover my gifts and passions, but, more importantly, they also helped to cultivate the courage I needed to embrace them –to know and be proud of who I am and to try to use my talents to their fullest potential every day.
When I graduated from Mount de Sales, I thought I was going to be a physician. I had always wanted to be one, just like my dad. While Mount de Sales certainly kept that dream alive with strong math and science courses (especially Sr. Mary Leonard’s Anatomy class – my favorite!), it also was where I cultivated a love of reading, writing, and critical thinking. I felt confident as I went off to Villanova University planning to blend my interests as an English Major on the Pre-Med track.
It wasn’t until four years later during Christmas Break of my senior year at Villanova that I figured out a more appropriate blending of my skills and interests. Realizing that I could have a different but still meaningful impact on the medical field if I pursued a law degree, I quickly applied to the University of Maryland School of Law, which had (and still has) one of the best healthcare law programs in the country. Although I was nervous
walking into my first law school class, I soon realized I was right where I needed to be and was perfectly prepared for this next step. Since becoming a lawyer, I have worked to build a healthcare practice that focuses on helping Maryland hospital systems tackle complex regulatory and compliance issues.
Mount de Sales also instilled in me a deep desire to give back. In addition to spending as much time as I can helping at our children’s school, I also volunteer many of my nights and weekends teaching skills and life lessons on local basketball cour ts and lacrosse fields, many of which I learned as a multi-sport high school athlete. I look forward to many more years of using sports as a vehicle to make a positive difference in the community.
And last, but not least, Mount de Sales taught me to keep family and faith at the center of everything I do. While learning to balance a demanding career with motherhood hasn’t been easy, and while I cannot do any of it without my wonderful husband, supportive parents, and family village, I am thankful every day for the four children God has given us, and I hope that we are teaching them by example to live out the words of St. Francis de Sales in their own lives.
