Press release – May 14,
2005
“Through the people you have touched, you will live forever,” was the message to Valedictorian Anne-Marie Olarte’s classmates as she set the tone for Archbishop Curley Notre Dame Prep’s 52nd Commencement Exercises. The ceremony honored ACND’s Class of 2005 and all of whom helped along the way.
Among the candidates for graduation at Corpus Christi Church on May 14th were two National Merit Finalists, two National Merit Commended Students, a National Hispanic Recognition Scholar, and a National Achievement Scholarship Winner.
Through their collection of close to twelve thousand dollars in mission money and fourteen thousand hours of community service the members of the graduating class have already begun to leave their mark.
Because of their achievements, they have been awarded close to two million dollars in scholarship money.
The class took time out of the ceremony to give a standing ovation to their parents and teachers. In a message echoed by Salutatorian Kay-Ann Linton, Anne-Marie recognized the parents, former teachers and elementary schools when she said, “The people who have led us, taught us, loved us, deserve to have their legacy passed on through us.”
Two other awards were announced at the ceremony. ACND’s Student Body President, Omaar Yemini, was named the recipient of the 2005 Principal’s Leadership Award. Alexandra Rojas, a member of ACND’s Youth for Life organization and Campus Ministry, received the 2005 Archbishop Favalora Christian Leadership Award.
Principal Patrick Sean Moffett led the congregation in extending a blessing of love and prayer over the ACND graduates and their futures’.
