Rose Philippine Duchesne Award

In celebration of the canonization of our school’s foundress, the Alumni Association initiated the practice of conferring an award on an alum who has distinguished him or herself in areas of loyalty, service and exemplary community involvement since graduating from the Academy. This special degree of recognition has become an annual feature of the spring Congé Reunion.
