SPOTLIGHT ON FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE It is my honor to welcome you to the 2025 edition of St. Mary’s Magazine. The theme we’ve chosen for this issue, Foundation for the Future, speaks to the incredible journey we continue to embark upon each school year. The theme symbolizes the firm base of knowledge, values, and experiences we are building among our students today for their bright future tomorrow.

Throughout this issue, we explore how our students are not just preparing for what’s ahead but are actively shaping their future with determination, resilience, and ambition. From academic achievements to personal growth, this magazine edition highlights the strength and potential that we, as a community, cultivate in each of our students, that also lives on in our alumni, and that our benefactors strongly support.

Our foundation is built upon the spirit of collaboration, the curiosity that sparks innovation, and the encouragement that fosters confidence. It’s about creating a learning environment where every student can thrive and we are proud to see the positive outcomes that arise from this strong, supportive environment.

St. Mary’s legacy is strong, but as the world evolves so does our school. This magazine serves as a testament to how, by focusing on building solid foundations today, we are ensuring that each student’s future is filled with endless possibilities.

As you turn the pages, I hope you’ll feel the energy, pride, and hope that radiate from our school. Together, we are building something extraordinary, and the best is yet to come.

Enjoy this issue of St. Mary’s Magazine!

GREETINGS From Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan

Dear Alumni, Parents, Students, and Friends, As I prepare to bid farewell to the Class of 2025, my seventh commencement exercise since joining St. Mary’s, I am filled with an abundance of gratitude. The accomplishments of this class are truly remarkable and overwhelming.

The school stands on the cusp of surpassing the 900-student enrollment milestone this fall. Our STEM facilities continue to inspire and empower our students and faculty. The St. Mary’s senior class has achieved exceptional test scores and Advanced Placement results, a testament to the exceptional dedication of our teaching staff. These accomplishments have resulted in early decision acceptances to prestigious institutions such as Holy Cross, Wake Forest, Duke, and Notre Dame, demonstrating the widespread recognition of our school’s excellence.

Furthermore, the implementation of the One St. Mary’s initiative, which aims to consolidate the institution from Pre-K through grade 12, has unveiled the compassionate, inclusive, and humble nature of our older students. The All-School Mass buddies program is an exceptional example of this initiative’s success.

This fall, St. Mary’s will welcome its seventh cohort of Garrity Scholars to campus.

Named after the esteemed Monsignor Garrity, whose courageous leadership and unwavering commitment to community saved St. Mary’s, the Garrity Scholarship attracts academically gifted individuals to Tremont Street. These scholars are the driving force behind our remarkable academic achievements.

I extend my sincere gratitude to each member of our community for their invaluable contributions to these blessings. Your generous gifts to our school, your dedicated time, your thoughtful donations, and your unwavering support for our students have made St. Mary’s a vibrant and thriving institution.

As we navigate these uncertain times, let us draw inspiration from the words of Archabbot Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B.: ”Forward, always forward, everywhere forward! We must not be hindered by debts, past setbacks, or the challenges of the present. Adversity presents an opportunity for growth and transformation.”

With these words in mind, let us continue to strive forward, embracing the blessings that life bestows upon us.

Sincerely,

Dr. John F. Dolan Head of School

Student Profile

MILANA PELEKH ’25 AND SOFIA PROSKURINA ’25 ‘We are very lucky to be in this school’: Milana and Sofia from Ukraine find community and compassion at St. Mary’s.

When Milana Pelekh arrived for her first day at St. Mary’s in September of 2022, she had significantly more concerns than a typical transfer student.

“I was really scared,” Milana says, looking back.

“Not only because it was a whole new school, but also a new community, a new language, and a new country.”

In Ukraine, Milana’s life—and the lives of millions of others—had become difficult, even dangerous, after Russia’s invasion three years ago. Many fled, leaving everything behind, and a number of families relocated to the United States.

Such an upheaval is always difficult, but moving 4,500 miles in the middle of high school can leave a teenager feeling desperately alone. However, despite her initial unease, it didn’t take long for Milana to feel some level of comfort at 35 Tremont Street.

“I remember the first person I saw was Ms. Audrey Jimenez. She was the one that opened the door for me, and she was smiling at me so kindly. And the moment I saw her, I felt myself welcomed.”

St. Mary’s had reached out to the New American Association of Massachusetts, which is

“The opportunity to be a part of their educational pathway has not only enriched their lives but has also profoundly shaped my own.” headquartered in Lynn. Jimenez, who was the school’s director of multicultural affairs at the time, spearheaded the initiative.

“I was able to connect with four Ukrainian families,” she says, “and begin the work of building bridges to our school and the wider community.”

Among the five students from Ukraine who started at St. Mary’s that fall was Sofia Proskurina, who, like Milana, would be a sophomore.

“I remember my first day vividly,” says Sofia. “I even remember my first class. It was geometry, and we didn’t have proper uniforms at that time, but we didn’t know that. We were lost.”

The feelings of confusion didn’t last long.

“People were seeing that we were struggling, coming up to us, and helping us out. It was really nice to see everyone and to feel that people are nice.”

With time came the proper school uniforms, an understanding of how to get around campus, and a decrease in anxiety.

Sofia’s sister Emilia, a ninth grader; Sasha Chaikovska and Anastasia Butova, who are in eighth grade; and Anastasia’s brothers, Alex in second grade and Andrew in first.

“St. Mary’s Board Chair, William Mosakowski, works closely with CARE and has been a big advocate of St. Mary’s providing a supportive learning environment to those who need it,” says Jamie Gigliotti, the school’s executive director of external affairs. “The students have fully integrated into the St. Mary’s school community, have a rigorous academic schedule, and enjoy exploring new clubs and activities.”

Milana and Sofia are now seniors preparing to graduate. Both intend to study nursing, though Sofia is planning to take a year to study cosmetology, inspired by her mother’s work in the field.

“I think that we are very lucky to be in this school and that we ended up in this community,” says Sofia, “because it’s really, really supportive.”

“You get to know students, teachers, and the routine is coming into your life,” Sofia says. “It’s just natural to us now. It’s our life.”

One of the key supports in that first year was Alicia Sheridan, a language teacher who met with the students from Ukraine during one period each day, helping to answer any questions they might have about their assignments or any difficulties with English.

The other students from Ukraine who now attend St. Mary’s include

“She always treated us like family,” says Milana of Sheridan, who

stopped by during the winter to say hello to her former charges.

Jimenez, the director of college and career counseling at St. Mary’s, takes inspiration from the determination she’s seen in the students.

“Their resilience, intellect, and talents never cease to amaze me,” she says. “The opportunity to be a part of their educational pathway has not only enriched their lives but has also profoundly shaped my own.”

Scripture reminds us that it is our duty to reach out to those who need our assistance, whether they are our neighbors or those newly arrived from a distant land.

“We are grateful to have played a small role in helping these students be able to move forward from a difficult situation,” says Gigliotti.

“We hope St. Mary’s can continue to be a beacon of hope for these students and others who may need our help.”

ATHLETIC CHAMPIONS: Girls Ice Hockey and Flag Football In 2024, with the girls hockey and girls flag football teams capturing state championships, the remarkable streak of at least one state title stretches to 17 consecutive years.

“We are experiencing something that will certainly never be replicated,” said St. Mary’s Director of Athletics Jeff Newhall.

“To think that this goes back to 2007 when a majority of our current students weren’t born yet is astounding. We have been truly blessed for quite some time now with tremendous student-athletes, 8

families and coaches. It takes more than just talent to achieve at this level.“ During the streak the Spartans have won a total of 24 state championships and the 2023–2024 school year represented the sixth time during the past 17 years in which St. Mary’s won multiple titles in a school year.

The team that was first to extend the streak was the girls hockey team which defeated Notre Dame Hingham 5–4 in triple overtime at the Boston Garden to capture the Division 1 title, their sixth overall and first since 2013. Freshman Alyssa Norden (2 goals) stuffed home a rebound off a freshman Bella Freitas (state leader in goals) shot netting the game winner to send the Spartan faithful into a frenzy on Causeway Street.

Keira Twomey also assisted on the game’s final play.

“Our motto all year was to do it together,” said longtime St. Mary’s coach Frank Pagliuca. “We kept working, we kept grinding. The players stayed focused. They played their hearts out.”

Other goal scorers in this epic clash (second longest game in MIAA girls hockey history) were Audrey Zinck and Freitas (2). Goalie Gianna Tringale was tremendous in net, turning away 41 shots from the Cougars. The Spartans (23–3–1) won another thriller in their previous game defeating Williams in OT. In only their second year of existence, the girls flag football team claimed a state championship at Gillette Stadium on a thrilling final play.

Sixth grader Kaileigh Patterson hauled in a Hail Mary as time expired from quarterback Sophia Lafontant to beat defending champion Leominster 18–13 in the second annual NFL Massachusetts state championship game.

“We have been truly blessed for quite some time now with tremendous student-athletes, families and coaches. It takes more than just talent to achieve at this level.”

Patterson, the daughter of Spartans coach Terrell Patterson stole the show as she was one of the top performers in the state all year. She opened the scoring in the championship game with a pick six and she sealed the win for St. Mary’s by scoring the game winning touchdown.

“They are a scrappy, young bunch,” said Coach Patterson. “I want to tell you something, more than half the team is sixth, seventh and eighth graders.

They are middle schoolers and they came to play.

Outstanding job.”

When asked about the catch, Kaileigh laughed and her response was a reminder of just how young this talented player is.

“I didn’t even know I caught it!”

“I’ve been around St. Mary’s my entire life and I feel privileged to have worked with so many outstanding student-athletes. I sincerely appreciate this honor.”

NEWHALL COURT Jeff Newhall ’94 will be the first to tell you he would never have expected to hear his name mentioned in the same breath as Tony Conigliaro ’62.

Now the basketball court at St. Mary’s has been officially named for Newhall and a dedication ceremony took place on Friday, December 8, 2024 in between the girls and boys games vs. Andover in the Mosakowski Tipoff Classic: Jeff Newhall Court in the Tony Conigliaro Gym.

Newhall wasn’t born until nine years after Conigliaro became the youngest American League player ever to hit 100 home runs in 1967, but as a die-hard Red Sox fan and St. Mary’s lifer, he is well aware of the exploits of the legendary Tony C.

That’s pretty heady stuff.

ANNUAL EDITION 2025

“This is a humbling moment, and embarrassing to a certain degree,” Newhall said. “I’ve been around St. Mary’s my entire life and I feel privileged to have worked with so many outstanding studentathletes. I sincerely appreciate this honor.”

The dedication ceremony was hosted by Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan and included remarks from Massachusetts Secretary of Education Dr. Patrick Tutwiler; former St. Mary’s Athletic Director Tom Newhall, Jeff’s father; St. Mary’s alumna Marge Callahan ’52, Newhall’s elementary school teacher; Sharell Sanders ’14, former St. Mary’s player; and Board Chair William Mosakowski.

“We have the best athletic director in the state, who is also an invaluable member of our leadership team. We are proud to honor Jeff’s legacy as the driving force behind unparalleled success in St. Mary’s athletics,” said Dolan.

Tutwiler, the former superintendent of schools in Lynn, said he is “deeply familiar with all Jeff has done to elevate the athletic program at St. Mary’s for two decades. That name on that floor is a symbol of a set of core values—a commitment to youth, hard work and a commitment to community.”

Rev. Brian Flynn, pastor of Saint Mary of the Sacred Heart Parish, blessed the court and offered a closing prayer. In a show of sportsmanship and class, Coach Alan Hibino and the Andover girls team, which had just lost by 36 points, remained on their bench for the entire ceremony.

A 1994 St. Mary’s graduate, Newhall has been working at the school for 24 years, has served as girls basketball coach since 2005 and athletic director since 2007.

He is also director of campus operations. As a coach, he has a career record of 395–149 with five state championships and five sectional titles. He coached the golf team to a state championship in 2006.

“Thank you to every young lady who has run this court for that guy,” Tom Newhall said. “As a family that has been involved with St. Mary’s since 1948, we are obviously very proud of Jeff’s accomplishments and contributions to the school and we thank St. Mary’s for honoring him.”

Callahan, a 1952 St. Mary’s graduate, said if she had her way, “they’d name a whole building for Jeff, not just a court.”

Sanders, who was a scholarship player at Caldwell University and serves as an assistant under Newhall, said “his accomplishments deserve to be celebrated.

He has the rare ability to see greatness in people before they see it themselves.”

Mosakowski said St. Mary’s was honoring Newhall “not just for the wins and championships, and not just for the many great players who have gone on to play at the next level, but we are calling out his dedication to give each player the opportunity to learn about themselves and others.”

With Newhall as athletic director, St. Mary’s teams have won at least one state championship 17 straight years and 23 state titles overall. He is the MIAA soccer tournament director, chair of the MIAA Basketball Committee, and a member of the Tournament Management Committee. He is also the assistant director of the Agganis All-Star Games.

In the 19 years Newhall has coached the girls basketball team, 100 percent of the graduating seniors have gone on to four-year colleges, with 16 receiving full scholarships to Division 1 or 2 schools.

Prior to St. Mary’s, Newhall was the varsity girls basketball coach at Marblehead High School for three years. His first coaching job was as an assistant to Julie Halloran at Swampscott High in 1999.

Newhall lives in Lynn with his wife, Chrissy, and their three children: 11-year-old Alex and 9-year-old twins Andrew and Eva, all of whom attend St. Mary’s.

ARCHBISHOP VISIT Archbishop Richard Henning received an enthusiastic welcome from St. Mary’s students on Monday, January 27, 2025 when he came to Lynn to celebrate Mass to kick off Catholic Schools Week.

“Hopefully, it’s the first of many visits to St. Mary’s,” said Archbishop Henning, who was installed as the leader of the Archdiocese of Boston on October 31. “I’m so grateful to be here and for your faith in our Lord Jesus.”

Archbishop Henning said Catholic schools play an important role in the development of students.

“Catholic schools form the whole person in every dimension: academically, emotionally, spiritually,” he said. “Catholic schools are a gift to the church and the students are a gift to the church.

I’m a big believer in the power of Catholic education.”

A Rockville, N.Y., native, Archbishop Henning went to Catholic elementary and high school and St. John’s University, where he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He was ordained a priest in 1992 and received his doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome.

He came to Boston from Providence, where he served as bishop for two years. Prior to that he was auxiliary bishop of Rockville Center, New York.

In addition to Rev. Brian Flynn, pastor of St. Mary of the Sacred Heart Parish, concelebrants of the Mass included former St. Mary’s pastor Rev. Msgr. Paul V. Garrity. Eileen McLaughlin, superintendent of schools for the archdiocese, was in attendance along with several members of the St. Mary’s board of trustees.

The St. Mary’s school choir provided music and was joined by members of the girls and boys basketball teams for the Communion songs.

At the end of the Mass, Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan gave Archbishop Henning a St. Mary’s sweatshirt and told him the school would always support him, a sentiment repeated by Board Chair William Mosakowski and appreciated by the archbishop.

“It’s daunting to be archbishop of Boston,” he said. “I’m blessed. I thank you for your gift of young faith and witness.”

As has become tradition when the leader of the archdiocese visits, Archbishop Henning announced a future day off for St. Mary’s, which was met with resounding approval by the packed church.

The day chosen by Dolan was St. Patrick’s Day, appropriately a day celebrating the patron saint of the archdiocese.

Class of 2028

GARRITY SCHOLARS In its seventh year of establishment, The Garrity Scholars Program is a four-year, full tuition scholarship program offered by St. Mary’s Lynn. The Garrity Scholars is a competitive merit award program that recognizes the best and brightest students interested in a transformative, Catholic and STEM focused education.

The program is named in honor of Monsignor Paul Garrity, who was the pastor for 18 years at St. Mary’s Parish in Lynn with responsibility for St. Mary’s Marian Division and High School.

Under his leadership, St. Mary’s Lynn was transformed and took its rightful place as one of the premier Catholic high schools in the north shore region. Monsignor Garrity is a storied and revered figure in the St. Mary’s community.

The Garrity full tuition scholarship is the most prestigious award offered at St. Mary’s and acknowledges excellence through focus on STEM education, personal leadership qualities, and a commitment to the St. Mary’s pillars of excellence. All hallmarks of the life of Monsignor Garrity.

The members of the Class of 2028 Garrity Scholars competed within a talented and competitive pool of 170 candidates from across the north shore.

Congratulations to the Class of 2028 Garrity Scholars: PRETTY-BRENNA ABILA, Salem resident, Salem Charter School ANDREA BASTA, Revere resident, Garfield Middle School JACKSON CHEVALIER, Lynn resident, St. Pius V. School DYLAN CROSBY, Peabody resident, Higgins Middle School VALENTINA DE LA ROCHA, Swampscott resident, Swampscott Middle School ELENA GONZALEZ, Lynn resident, East Boston Central Catholic PATRICK HURLEY, Saugus resident, Saugus Middle School KAYLEI JOHNSON, Lynn resident, St. Mary’s Middle School RORY MANNION, Lynn resident, Our Lady of Assumption School JAMES RIDLEY, Lynn resident, St. Mary’s Middle School SKY SATH, Lynn resident, Marshall Middle School MATTHEW ZUKOWSKI, Lynn resident, Pickering Middle School

The Garrity selection process includes a student-written essay submission about leadership. Below are excerpts from this year’s Garrity cohort.

PRETTY-BRENNA ABILA I was always very shy growing up, but once I became aware of the leadership skills that rested within me, my life changed considerably.

These skills have helped me become an example for my siblings and classmates as they see me as someone who can lead them on the right path. As President Abraham Lincoln once said, democracy is the “government of the people, for the people, and by the people.”

ANDREA BASTSA Last year, my town soccer team didn’t have many victories, and our morale was low. Rather than letting each loss carry over to next week’s practice, I took the initiative to challenge my teammates and encourage them to keep working hard. It’s easy to become negative, but I think my optimism helped our team come close in many games.

JACKSON CHEVALIER Many people think leadership is about respect, power, and the way people treat you; but I view leadership as a position in which other people come before yourself. A good leader isn’t someone who bosses people around and is popular, it’s someone who encourages others, lifts people up when they are down, and puts in real effort to help their peers.

DYLAN CROSBY I am also the type of leader who is mentally prepared, reliable, and willing to perform under pressure. As an athlete, I maintain a positive mindset, keep my composure under all circumstances, and try to lift my teammates’ spirits when they are down.

VALENTINA DE LA ROCHA When being a leader in any way, either academically, or in sports, it is important that you are aware that you are a role model. Being a role model means always doing the right thing, no matter who or where you are. Setting a good example means living by the values and behaviors you want others to follow.

ELENA GONZALEZ While I’m only thirteen years old, I’m aware that I still have my entire life ahead of me, which is what drives me to be the best person I can be. I may make mistakes and fall down, but through my path to becoming a leader, I’ve learned from my errors, and I can say with pride that I will never give up my journey to being the next generation of young adults who’ll make our world spin in the direction that God wants for us.

PATRICK HURLEY Treating people in a way I would like to be treated is something I strive to always do. When faced with different situations, I will always try to put myself in the other person’s shoes. During class activities, I will do my best to include others and not leave anyone out. Being thoughtful about my choices is important to being a good role model.

KAYLEI JOHNSON Being the youngest in an academically and athletically strong family, it was easy to be in the shadows. Being surrounded by a family of leaders and through my own experiences, I’ve learned how to grow my leadership skills and abilities. In order to be a good leader, I believe you must first be a follower.

RORY MANNION Using these traits of accountability, support, and encouragement, I too have been able to be a successful leader. Utilizing these traits myself has allowed me to respond to issues with confidence, and help others to make decisions or overcome problems. Because my responses helped people fix or lessen their issues, I feel that I have become someone they can count on.

JAMES RIDLEY “When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.” John 13 v. 12–14. Scripture gives us the definition of leadership. The above verse is from one of the most outstanding leaders to walk this Earth, Jesus Christ. And, if Jesus himself can show humility, kindness, and compassion, then that is the standard for me to follow and model.

SKY SATH We spoke at the Grant Pitch Project in Boston. As a result, we won a grant of $1,000 to create our own mental health room that can help kids with stress and anxiety. It was one of the most challenging projects I have ever taken on, yet it was the most rewarding. This project has motivated me to step up and fight for our community. I have learned a lot from being around amazing people and supportive community leaders.

MATTHEW ZUKOWSKI Inclusivity is a trait that leaders should have. I was honored to be named captain because it shows me that my coaches have put their trust in me to include everyone and make my teammates feel welcome. My coaches see me as a role model that others can learn from.

ST. MARY’S 2024

CUSHING SOCIETY CELEBRATION St. Mary’s presented the Cardinal Cushing Award to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and the Sisters of St. Joseph on Wednesday, October 2, 2024 at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem.

At the same celebration, the Price family was awarded the William F. Connell ’55 Service Award.

The Cushing Award is awarded by the school to a vigorous champion of Catholic education whose personal and professional life mirror St. Mary’s mission.

St. Mary’s has a proud legacy of providing quality Catholic education dating back to the school’s opening in 1881. Two groups who played a critical role in that mission were the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.

Founded by St. Julie Billiart in 1804, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur came to Boston in 1849. They expanded their outreach from the North End of Boston to Lowell, Salem and other communities and were invited to teach in Lynn in 1881. The Sisters of Notre Dame taught at the elementary level from the school’s opening and at St. Mary’s Girls High starting in 1923. They maintained a presence at the school into the 1990s.

18

The Sisters of St. Joseph arrived in Boston in 1873. Four days after their arrival in Jamaica Plain, Mother Mary Regis and three companions opened three grades in the basement of St. Thomas Church. The Sisters of St. Joseph staffed St. Mary’s Boys High School for more than 35 years, leaving before the boys and girls high schools merged in 1968.

“There are generations of St. Mary’s graduates who benefited from the outstanding academic instruction and the lessons in life taught by the Sisters,” said Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan. “The strength of St. Mary’s today lies in the support we receive from those alumni, who acknowledge and appreciate what St. Mary’s did for them and the critical role the Sisters played.”

Connell gave St. Mary’s $1 million in 1989 when the school was in danger of closing and he bequeathed the school a $5 million gift, which led to the construction of the Connell Center. While becoming one of the most successful businessmen in the country, Connell was always true to his West Lynn and St. Mary’s roots.

When Patrick Christopher Price died suddenly at the age of 46 in 1961, his wife, Loretta, became a single mother of four children ages 3–12. It was a daunting task, but family, friends and the community rallied around the Prices and made sure Loretta had the emotional and financial support she and her children needed.

“People really stepped up for us,” said Paul Price ’75, the youngest of the four children, who was 3 when his dad died.

One area in which Loretta Price was not going to cut corners was education. She made sure that all four children had the opportunity to attend St. Pius Elementary and St. Mary’s High School.

“We all went to St. Pius,” said Christine (Price) Antaya ’66, the eldest sibling, who was in the seventh grade when her father died. “From there you went to St. Mary’s. That was just what you did. We were very lucky.”

The journey through Catholic education did not end with St. Mary’s graduation, as all four went on to Catholic colleges: Neal ’69, Peter ’73 and Paul to Providence and Christine to Emmanuel.

St. Mary’s has remained near and dear to their hearts, especially Paul, a member of the board of trustees who has had three children graduate: Meghann ’01, Kevin ’04 and Claire ’06. Neal’s son, Matthew, is a 2007 graduate. Paul was asked to sit on the Finance Committee in 2010 and he became a trustee in 2011.

Peter Price said going to St. Mary’s “meant the world” to him and his siblings. “I don’t think there was ever any other option for us. We made a lot of good friends there.”

Neal, who passed away in 2023, started the family accounting business, Neal A. Price & Co., in 1978 when he was 27 years old. Paul went to work for the company in 1982 and Peter came on board five years later. Neal’s wife, son and daughter all work there.

When Loretta Price died in 2000, the family started the Loretta Price Scholarship, which is awarded to a good student with a single parent, who may not have been able to go to St. Mary’s without it.

FOUNDATION FOR

THE FUTURE Seniors are getting into the best colleges in the country, more students are taking and passing Advanced Placement exams and there is a projected incoming ninth-grade class of 175 students.

Increase in AP Students and Exams

Life is good at St. Mary’s.

+24%

“We have elevated the academic makeup of St. Mary’s,” said Associate Head of School David Angeramo, noting that the Garrity Scholars program has played a critical role in this upgrade. “We have academically talented students enrolling and we have to meet the needs of those students. Our students and teachers have helped raise the level of academics across the school.”

2022

Let’s start with the AP exams. As part of an emphasis on equity, St. Mary’s has made a concerted effort the last three years to provide increased access to AP courses for all students. According to Angeramo, the idea was met with careful consideration.

He said, “There was some concern about what would happen with the scores. We thought if we could maintain the pass rate, that would be great. If we get more students to take an AP course, that’s the best way to prepare them for that level of rigor at the college level. We really pushed it.”

2024 +31%

2022 2024 Exams

The results have been head-turning.

Students

In 2022, 106 students took 178 AP exams. In 2024, 131 students took 234 exams, an increase of 24 and 31 percent, respectively.

ST. MARY’S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2025 21

Now, for the really good news.

In 2022, 50 percent of students scored 3 or higher (out of 5), which is a passing grade that can potentially earn the student college credits. In 2024, 74 percent of students scored 3 or higher, better than anyone could have reasonably expected.

74%

Students that scored 3 or higher in 2024

“It’s a tribute to the teachers developing great relationships with the students and the students taking it seriously,” Angeramo said. “The reality is that as a school we’ve created a culture of more students taking upperlevel classes and having success. It has helped raise academics across the whole school. That was our major focus: How do we elevate the academic outcomes of the school?”

A deeper dive into the statistics shows that the equity goals are also being met. In 2024, 23 percent of the student body was Hispanic, 25 percent of the AP exams were taken by Hispanic students and they accounted for 23 percent of the passing scores. African-Americans comprised 7 percent of the student body, took 7 percent of the AP exams and they reflected 8 percent of the passing scores.

St. Mary’s was featured in a College Board webinar as the only Catholic high school in the state to offer AP African-American Studies.

“That’s very important to us, that all sub-groups and demographics achieve at the highest level,” Angeramo said. “It’s certainly a point of pride.”

St. Mary’s now offers 17 AP courses, with two students taking three other AP classes through Virtual High School. There are eighth-graders taking high school classes and sophomores—as well as a few freshmen— taking AP classes.

22 ST. MARY’S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2025

Colleges are taking note of this academic performance, with St. Mary’s students earning early acceptance to schools such as Holy Cross, Duke, Notre Dame and Wake Forest. Angeramo is quick to point out that the goal is to meet the needs of every student, which means helping them find the college that is the best fit or, in the case of a small percentage, preparing them for the military, workforce or other endeavors.

“We want all of our courses to do a good job of preparing students for what comes next,” Angeramo said. “AP is one way to raise the rigor, but we want to make sure we have something for everyone.”

The AP exams are not the only standardized test on which St. Mary’s students are excelling. The Class of 2026 scored an average of 1050 on the PSAT, the first class ever to break 1000 for an average. The previous best was 985, which resulted in an average SAT score of 1140. The performance of this year’s junior class would translate to an average SAT score approaching 1200.

“The test scores are eye-popping,” said Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan. “The quality of students and teachers is amazing. We have never been more confident than we are in the teaching staff we have assembled, and the outcomes speak for themselves.”

The perception of St. Mary’s is also changing. There is no question that athletics has been recognized as the primary strength of the school in the eyes of many observers over the last two decades. St. Mary’s teams have won at least one state championship in each of the last 17 years and Athletic Director Jeff Newhall—

who also coaches the girls basketball team—has assembled an elite coaching staff.

The results of a survey of benefactors, alumni, friends, parents and trustees that was conducted as part of a recent study were particularly noteworthy. Asked to list in order the top three strengths of the school, 36 percent listed Catholic Identity first, followed by 34 percent saying academics and 30 percent citing athletics.

“That was not always the case,” said Dolan, a former college football player who is the biggest supporter of St. Mary’s sports there is, yet not unhappy to see athletics come up short in this “competition.”

“People are thinking about Catholic Identity and academics first, then athletics,” he said. “This is a watershed moment.”

No matter how you slice it, St. Mary’s is winning, and winning big.

Class of 2024

COMMENCEMENT St. Mary’s High School celebrated the graduation of 113 students at our commencement ceremony on Thursday, May 23, 2024.

Head of School Dr. John Dolan said he was amazed by the courage and academic leadership shown by the Class of 2024.

“This group had a higher SAT average than the state’s regional SAT average,” Dolan said.

He added that the graduating class also achieved AP Silver status, meaning it had the second-highest pass rate for AP exams in the county.

“This is the most academically muscular class we have ever had,” Dolan said.

Dolan noted that members of the Class of 2024 did not have a chance to celebrate their eighthgrade graduation because of the COVID-19 pandemic, so this year was especially important to them.

He said the students and their families showed courage in coming to St. Mary’s in the midst of the 24 ST. MARY’S MAGAZINE

pandemic because the school was the only Catholic school on the North Shore to welcome the Class of 2024 fully in person.

Dolan admitted that he was initially concerned about the day’s forecast, but he said the clear and nearly 80-degree weather proved that “the Holy Mother sent us a message.”

Valedictorian Nicole Hamel’s speech detailed her love of God and how her relationship with God was strengthened through the teachings of the campus ministry.

“It is through my relationship with God that I’ve learned how necessary self-love is. I know we all have such different experiences, and that’s what’s so beautiful about this life. But when you get down on yourself, find anything, something, anything that makes you love you again,” Hamel said. “Our lives are about to change forever, and I’m sure all of us are going through the same nervous feelings about making new friends or living up to expectations. Fall so deeply in love with who you are and who you want to be that you have no

ANNUAL EDITION 2025

choice but to be proud of every accomplishment you make, no matter how small.”

Hamel matriculated to Sacred Heart University in the fall.

Salutatorian Colby Kelly, who now attends Stonehill College, spoke about growing up in the midst of the pandemic, and the perils and advancements of ChatGPT. His speech garnered many laughs from audience members, and he closed by giving the graduates advice.

“As long as you continue to put in the work and never quit, you will accomplish what you set your mind to,” Kelly said. “I mean, if we can survive following Mr. Ridley’s rules and dress code, we can do pretty much anything, right?”

Heidi Guarino gave the parent speech as her son, Jacob Guarino, was in the Class of 2024.

She also shared advice with the graduating students, telling them that life is fluid.

“Just because you haven’t found your passion yet, doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. You’re not in a game show. No one’s holding a stopwatch. This is your life and you need to live it on your timeline,” Guarino said. “You have the rest of your lives to figure out who you should be, where you should live, who you should love, and what you should do.”

The keynote speaker, former trustee Mark Mathers, talked about how his Catholic faith was instilled

in him by his parents, and his immigration to the United States from Ireland. Mark is the father to alumni Cailtin Mathers ’18 and Sean Mathers ’22, and is the son-in-law of Owen Lynch ’52.

Approximately 50 students, including Hamel, Kelly, and Jacob Guarino, graduated as members of the National Honor Society.

MAURA O’BRIEN ’07 When Maura (O’Brien) Bovio ’07 returned to Camp Sunshine last summer, it was a full-circle moment.

The camp, which offers comfort, hope and support to children with life-threatening illnesses, holds a special place in Bovio’s heart. Her brother, Neal, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1991 and he lost his battle to cancer in 2018. He attended Camp Sunshine many times between 1993 and 2010.

When he passed, the O’Brien family

donated a wheelchair-accessible golf cart with the plaque “Neal’s Wheels” to the camp.

dedicated a brick in honor of the O’Brien family to the camp’s brick walkway program.

“It was one of his favorite places to go,” said Bovio. “If he even just saw the logo, he would light up.”

“When Maura first walked into my class, I never could have imagined that we’d still be doing this almost 20 years later, and creating this legacy,” said Lowe. “Having done it so long, I get to see the longlasting effects it’s had on the students, and what they take away from it. In ministry, we teach that people treat each other as Jesus wants us to treat them, and that’s lived out at camp, where people are doing what they can to make the week special for those families.

We get to experience that in such a profound way.”

While at St. Mary’s, Bovio approached theology teacher Doug Lowe about taking a group of students to volunteer at Camp Sunshine. In 2006, eight students, including Bovio, made the trip to Sebago Lake in Casco, Maine, where the program is held. The retreatstyle camp, which is free to attend and designed to serve the entire family, relies on volunteers, who serve as camp counselors and work in food service, arts and crafts, waterfront and more.

“I’ve loved going back and giving back to a place that made such an impact on my family,” said Bovio. “It was special to have my classmates there to see what camp was all about and why it meant so much to my family.”

Even after Bovio graduated, Lowe continued to bring groups of students to volunteer at Camp Sunshine.

Last summer marked Lowe’s 25th trip with students. Bovio, now a special education teacher at Essex North Shore Agricultural and Technical School, took a group of students to the same session as Lowe and the St. Mary’s group.

“That was a very cool moment, going back in a new role as a chaperone and mentor, and also being there with Doug and the St. Mary’s kids,” said Bovio. “It was also emotional for me, since it

was the first time going back since my brother passed away. But it was wonderful to see the other families and volunteers and almost relive volunteering for the first time through my students.”

Bovio has taught at Essex Tech for the past seven years. She previously worked as a job coach at the Cotting School in Lexington, supporting students with learning disabilities, physical challenges and complex medical conditions.

“My brother's tumor left him with disabilities, which inspired me to go into the special education field,” she said. “I love connecting with students and preparing them for life after high school.”

Bovio earned her bachelor’s in kinesiology and exercise science from Salem State University and her master’s in special education and teaching from American International College.

“I’ve loved going back and giving back to a place that made such an impact on my family,” said Bovio.

A Peabody resident, she attended St. John the Baptist School before St. Mary’s. During her four years at St. Mary’s, she cheered, serving as captain for two years, was a student ambassador, member of the student council and participated in spring musicals.

“I found an extension of my family there at St. Mary’s,” said Bovio.

Bovio still lives in Peabody with her husband, Craig. The couple is expecting their first child in June. She and her parents, Neal and Nancy, are active in running the Love is Magic Foundation, providing support to families of children with a life-threatening illness.

Alumni Profile

ALUMNI WHO WORK AND COACH The one word most commonly used to describe St. Mary’s is “family.” And families are defined by multiple generations. At St. Mary’s, we are blessed to have more than three dozen individuals on the teaching and coaching staff who are alumni, having graduated from the school over a period ranging from 1969 to 2023. They bring to their positions the perspective of having walked in their students’ shoes. In this edition of St. Mary’s Magazine, we introduce you to 10 of them.

COURTNEY CAREY ’11 Growing up in a practicing Catholic household naturally set me on a path toward Catholic education.

My parents decided that I would attend St. Mary’s in the fall of 2007, marking a significant transition from public school. Though the change was initially challenging, I quickly grew to love St. Mary’s. During my four years there, I formed lifelong connections—people who remain some of the most important in my life to this day. St. Mary’s didn’t just educate me; it shaped me. It taught me to be compassionate, grateful, and kind—to treat others with dignity and equality. I was deeply involved in student life, participating in student council, cheerleading, dance, and more.

But beyond the activities, the most

ANNUAL EDITION 2025

influential part of my experience was the faculty and staff. They weren’t just teachers—they were role models, people I admired and hoped to emulate one day. At St. Mary’s, I was seen, valued, and encouraged to grow. Today, I am honored to serve as the assistant director of Communications at St. Mary’s, as well as work in the Admissions Department and coach the varsity cheerleading team.

Did I ever expect to return to my alma mater in this capacity? No. But if there’s one thing I learned as a student here, it’s that when you have a calling, you listen—because there’s a reason it was chosen for you. My appreciation for St. Mary’s runs deep, and now I have the privilege of offering that same transformative experience to

students. Every student who walks through these doors may need this environment just as much as I once did. And if I can make a difference in even one student’s life each day, then my purpose is fulfilled.

JACKIE FOLEY ’90 Reflecting on my time as a student at St. Mary’s always brings a smile to my face. The teachers and friends felt more like family—we cared for each other on so many levels. The building and grounds were nothing like they are today, but that never mattered much to us. What mattered was that we were safe, loved and educated every single day. Today, I have the privilege of serving as the assistant principal at St. Mary’s. I began my journey here as a teacher in 1998 and have never left. Being able to teach and lead at the very school that gave me so much has been an incredible blessing, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

JENNA FOLEY ’19 My time as a student at St. Mary’s was truly transformative. The supportive community, dedicated faculty, and enriching academic and extracurricular opportunities helped shape both my personal

and professional growth. The values and experiences I gained during my time as a student have stayed with me throughout my journey. Now, serving as a first-grade teacher at St. Mary's is a privilege. Teaching young students at St. Mary’s is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to inspire, guide, and nurture the next generation, just as my teachers once did for me. It’s incredibly fulfilling to contribute to the ongoing success of St. Mary’s and to support the next generation of students.

LISA GRASSA ’79 As a student at St. Mary’s, I had an incredible experience that shaped both my personal and academic growth. St. Mary’s close-knit community provided a learning environment where I made lifelong friends while challenging me academically. Extracurriculars were always encouraged, completing a well-rounded foundation. Although the campus looks profoundly different from 1979, it was a place that I hold near and dear to my heart. Currently, I’m serving as the third-grade teacher, and it is truly an honor to give back to the school that played such a large role in my development. Being part of the St. Mary’s community again, in a

professional capacity, allows me to impact the next generation of Spartans. It means a great deal to me to contribute to the school’s mission and to help guide students through experiences that are just as meaningful as my own.

TOM GRASSA ’69 I have very fond memories of my time at St. Mary’s as a student. I was among the many students that attended the grammar school as well as the high school, grades 1–12. I made many lifelong friends that I still communicate with. The faculty was comprised almost entirely of Sisters of Notre Dame. I returned as a faculty member in 2014 in the math department. It has been a fantastic experience. I fully enjoy coming to school. I’m surrounded by a large number of students and staff that are all working toward a common goal.

RACHEL HANLON ’14 During my time at St. Mary’s, I participated in sports and met some great friends. It also helped me discover my love for science and math, which led me to study engineering in college. Engineering was not a class you could take when I was in high school, so my first time being exposed to engineering courses was in college. Now, it’s fulfilling to be able to provide the opportunity for students as young as sixth grade to be exposed to engineering and the different ways engineers can impact society. It is great to be able to see the students get excited about various topics in the engineering field and grow their problem-solving skills. I hope to be able to allow students to realize their passion for engineering, so they can use that to further their knowledge and help develop products that can improve society.

CAITLIN MATHERS ’18 As a student at St. Mary’s, I had the privilege of being part of an incredible community. The emphasis on academic excellence, faith and personal growth shaped my educational journey and helped instill a strong sense of values that I carry with me today. The close-knit environment allowed me to form lasting relationships with both peers and teachers. What’s even more special is that St. Mary's has been a family tradition—my grandfather, Owen Lynch, and my brother, Sean Mathers, attended the school as well. It’s a place that has meant so much to our family.

maternal grandparents met. My paternal grandmother also attended the school. While I attended St. Mary's, I had many family members there at the same time, including cousins, my brother, and future sister-in-law. Throughout my time as a student, I was lucky enough to have great teachers, but my favorite part of my high school experience was playing basketball for Coach Newhall. My teammates and I still talk about our favorite moments from our playing careers. When Coach Newhall asked me to join his coaching staff in 2014, I was excited to give back to the program that had given me

Now, as the elementary school counselor, I have the opportunity to support students in navigating emotional and social challenges.

It’s an incredibly rewarding role that allows me to give back to the community that shaped me.

It’s an honor to contribute to the well-being of the next generation of St. Mary’s students.

so much. Coaching at St. Mary's eventually led to teaching at the school and working with some of my favorite high school teachers, including Mrs. Foley, Mrs. Georges, and Mr. Doherty. Not only are my former high school teachers and coach now colleagues as well as friends, I also get to work with my uncle, Jim Ridley. Because of all of these factors, St. Mary's has always felt like home.

RILEY MCILWAIN ’10 As a student at St. Mary’s, I experienced firsthand the warmth, support, and sense of community that make this school so special.

Now, in my role as a teacher in the Center for Academic Excellence, it’s incredibly meaningful to give back to the place that helped shape me.

Being able to support and guide the next generation, just as my teachers and mentors did for me, is both an honor and a privilege. St. Mary’s is more than a school; it’s a family, and I’m grateful to continue being a part of it in this new capacity.

JEFF NEWHALL ’94 St. Mary’s has been a constant in my life even before I started as a ninth-grade student in 1990. I grew up going to sporting events when my father was athletic director.

My two older brothers, Jason and Jon, also graduated from St. Mary’s. I had a very positive experience as a student. I love sports and played on varsity teams but was more of a role player. I think those experiences are what made me want to coach someday. It has been a thrill to be back at the school teaching for almost 25 years, coaching for the last 20 and serving as athletic director since 2007. I’m proud of the success our girls basketball team has had, winning our sixth state championship—and the school’s seventh overall—this year, but even more for the incredible accomplishments of our athletic program. We have now won at least one state championship 18 straight years. That is a testament to our outstanding student-athletes and spectacular coaches. It is a privilege to play a role in the overall resurgence of St. Mary’s, with a Pre-K–12 campus in one location and the largest incoming ninthgrade class in at least 30 years.

Their great-grandchildren, Cameryn Dunn ’26 and Fiona Dunn ’30 represent a fourth generation at St. Mary’s, the latest in more than two dozen family members to study on Tremont Street. They are the children of Jason Dunn, who graduated in 1995. Jason’s parents, Marilyn “Terri” (Twomey) and Ernie Dunn were Class of ’64.

Thankfully, three decades later St. Mary’s is thriving, with 125 students in the Class of 2025 and 834 overall in grades Pre-K–12.

Jason played football and hockey and went on to earn a business degree from Endicott College.

He works in electronics sales and is still connected to St. Mary’s through his children and as the JV girls soccer coach.

“My mother and father spoke very highly of St. Mary’s,” Terri Dunn said. “They told me, ‘this is where you should go to school.’ I was very happy there.”

Terri entered St. Mary’s Girls High in 1960 as a freshman, while Ernie started at St. Mary’s Boys High the same year. They met as seniors and started dating in October 1963. Ernie played football for Nick Consoles ’52 and went on to play at Cornell, where he earned undergraduate and business degrees. He served in the U.S. Navy for 2.5 years and they were married in 1968. Ernie also had four brothers graduate from the school.

“I think we had 68 students in my class,” Jason said.

“I loved my time at St. Mary’s,” Jason said. “We had small classes so we got a lot of 1-on-1 time with teachers. Mr. (Carl) DiMaiti was one of the best principals you could ask for. He always knew what was going on with us and was available to provide guidance. I formed many relationships I still have today.”

Jason, whose wife, Amy, is the principal at Lynn Classical High School, said it was never predestined that their children would go to St. Mary’s.

“They had friends going there,” he said. “I really don’t know what the key factor was, but we’re very pleased with the decision. There are a lot of opportunities for community service, like Rachel’s Challenge and My Brother’s Table.

It’s very important to give back to the less fortunate.”

Cameryn came in as a ninthgrader after attending Pickering Middle School. She plays soccer and lacrosse, runs track and participates in DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America), a program that prepares students for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management.

Fiona, who started in the sixth grade after attending Shoemaker Elementary, also plays soccer and lacrosse.

“It’s a beautiful campus and there is a strong sense of community,” Jason said. “It’s amazing how far the school has come.”

Jason and his mother both relayed a story of being in the school one day and looking for an elevator.

When they asked where to find one, students escorted them to it.

“People are so willing to help each other,” Jason said. “There is a happy-family environment.”

Few families can appreciate that more than the Dunns.

“It gives me a good feeling when I walk in there,” said Terri Dunn, whose grandson, Robbie McCarthy, is also a Spartan. “It’s a wonderful place to be.”

Ernie served on the board when Jason was a

Young Alumni Profile

MIA DIBIASIO ’19 Mia DiBiasio ’19 was drawn to St. Mary’s for many reasons— the most significant being its promise to challenge students to find their authentic selves.

“That was really impactful to me,” said DiBiasio, a Saugus resident. “It helped me to be more confident, come out of my shell and find my own self. St. Mary’s wasn’t just a place to go to learn. It was a community that allows you to grow and be who you are.”

As a young alumna, DiBiasio has made it a priority to give back to St. Mary’s. An audit associate at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), she donates on a monthly basis, to both St. Mary’s and Friends and Mentors, Inc., a nonprofit in Brockton where she interned while she was studying at Bentley University.

“I received scholarships to go to St. Mary’s and Bentley, and I learned how impactful that was,” DiBiasio said. “Because I really cherished my time at St. Mary’s, I wanted to give back to help other kids experience the generosity I experienced.”

president, was a member of the National Honor Society and was very active with campus ministry and Rachel’s Challenge.

“I’m grateful for the friends I made and teachers I met that had such a large impact in becoming who I am today,” she said.

DiBiasio earned her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Bentley, with minors in nonprofit management and law. She is working toward her master’s in accounting at Salem State University, as well as her Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential.

While at Bentley, DiBiasio participated in a variety of service opportunities, including the school’s service-learning program, Dresses for Dreams, and nonprofit internship program. During her senior year, she went to Ghana for two weeks as part of a class in biodiversity, health and disease.

She would encourage others to consider recurring donations as well.

“Even a small amount can have an impact,” she said.

DiBiasio, who went to Immaculate Conception School in Revere, enrolled at St. Mary’s as a freshman.

She played softball and served as captain of the team her junior and senior years. She also cheered, served as Student Council vice 32 ST. MARY’S MAGAZINE

“That really meant a lot to me, because it showed us how business decisions impact certain parts of the world, and how you can have a voice,” she said. “While learning about fishing, mining, e-waste, deforestation and Ghanian culture, I saw clear connections with my business education. It

motivated me to find ways I can incorporate what I learned in my career path. I learned more in those two weeks than in any class I have ever taken.”

DiBiasio joined PwC in January 2024, after completing a successful internship in the private assurance practice. She collaborates with colleagues and clients to deliver accurate and timely audit reports.

In the future, DiBiasio would like to combine her accounting skills with service.

“My goal is to leverage my education and experience to make a positive impact in the nonprofit sector,” she said.

For the time being, she appreciates the opportunities PwC offers.

Through the company, she is involved with Abilities and Allies Network and volunteering and fundraising for programs such as the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation, MDSC, Girls Inc. and more.

“I think my drive to give back really stems from learning what was meaningful to me at St. Mary’s,” she said.

After being laid off from her corporate job, Courtney (Ekstrom) Capano ’12 turned her passion for sustainability into a thriving business by bringing Indy Clover, a unique thrifting concept, to the East Coast.

Located in Wakefield, her store allows individuals to book a booth, price their own items, and let staff handle the sales. “I just couldn’t believe this concept existed,” she said. “I just kept saying how much we need it here.”

Overcoming challenges as a firsttime business owner, Capano made it a family affair, with her parents, husband, and even her twin toddlers playing a role in the store’s success.

Since opening in September, booth bookings have been nonstop, proving her instincts were right.

GREETINGS FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

Dear St. Mary’s Community, It is with great pride and deep gratitude that I write to you as the chair of the board, reflecting on another year of growth, achievement, and commitment to our mission at St. Mary’s. This has been a year marked by outstanding accomplishments across every grade level—from our youngest learners in Pre-K to our high school seniors preparing for the next chapter of their lives.

Our students have continued to excel academically, athletically, and artistically, demonstrating the extraordinary dedication and resilience that define the spirit of St. Mary’s. We have seen tremendous strides in creating a nurturing environment where each child, no matter their age, feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

As we celebrate these successes, it’s important to remember that none of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our entire community. Your commitment and engagement are what make St. Mary’s such a special place.

However, the journey doesn’t end here. While we have made remarkable progress, there is still much more to achieve. To continue thriving and to build on our successes, we need each and every one of you to continue your invaluable support. Your contributions, whether through time, talent, or resources, are what allow us to strengthen our foundation and move forward with confidence.

Let’s keep this momentum going. Together, we can ensure that St. Mary’s Lynn remains a beacon of excellence, compassion and service for years to come.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we can continue to provide an exceptional education for generations to come.

Sincerely,

William S. Mosakowski St. Mary’s Board Chair

St. Mary’s Nick Consoles ’52 Golf Open

HONORING NICHOLE GAGNON St. Mary’s Nick Consoles ’52 Golf Open honoring Nichole Gagnon, St. Mary’s Athletic Trainer was held at Gannon Golf Course on Monday, June 10, 2024. Many alumni, current parents, faculty, staff and friends gathered for a beautiful day of golf followed by dinner and a special tribute to Gagnon. Nichole Gagnon worked as St. Mary’s Athletic Trainer since 2008. Nichole provided hours of countless care and dedication to our students throughout many successful seasons and championships, dating back to the 2008 Girls Hockey State Championship. Gagnon is a graduate of University of New Hampshire, where she received her degree in Kinesiology with a focus in Athletic Training. While at UNH, 1,300 hours of clinical work were spent covering the track team, women’s volleyball team, club sports department, Dover High School, and Football Team. Nichole “retired” from working full time St. Mary’s at the end of the 2024 school year to continue the legacy of her family business with her father, Gagnon’s Shoe Repair in Beverly. Nichole is the proud mom of Amelia.
