Alumnae

"When you leave Stone Ridge, you will go off and do so many outstanding things. But, I say to you, as I say to myself, the most outstanding things can also be the most ordinary ones. The ordinary things are often the most essential ones, the capital-T truths, that are already within you and around you."

For over a century, our mission has fostered innovative thinkers who carry Sacred Heart values into their careers and communities. We asked alumnae to share how they embody innovation in their lives today.

The Outstanding Alumnae Awards recognize alumnae who have made significant contributions to their community or profession while embodying the Goals and values of Sacred Heart education.

It is rare for three athletes who attended the same high school to be named to an Olympic Team together; of the 20 women comprising the 2024 U.S. Olympic Women’s Swimming Team, Stone Ridge alumnae represented 15%.

While it is sometimes possible for swimmers from the same college to be named to an Olympic team together, it is nearly unheard of for three athletes who attended the same high school to do this. What is it about Stone Ridge that helps support young athletes to reach elite levels of competition?

In celebration of our Centennial year, we asked alumnae across the decades to reflect on what Stone Ridge means to them.
