Carondelet’s greatest assets are its people—the alumnae, students, faculty, staff, coaches and friends who have continued our school’s legacy of heart, faith, courage, and excellence.
Together, our community recognizes alumnae and mentors alike for their impact on the world and for their accomplishments and leadership in their professional or vocational fields. This evening of recognition is meant to bring the community together to engage with and support Carondelet.
