Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart is thrilled to once again appear in the January/February Bethesda Magazine's annual Best of Bethesda edition.

In December, the Upper School Social Action program received a virtual visit from Katherine Liola, CEO of Concentric Private Wealth, who engaged the students in a holiday card drive for older adults. Katherine grounded the activity in the principle of Catholic Social Teaching, "Family, Community, and Participation" that the Social Action Leaders used to frame the day. Our Grade 9 students produced over 150 cards for the effort.
Congrats to alumna Lauren Ferridge ‘19 who is celebrating a phenomenal close to the women’s rugby season at Dartmouth.

While at Stone Ridge, Lauren played on the field hockey team, was the captain of the swim team, and was a leader in Campus Ministry.
