Sacred Heart Greenwich held a drive-through graduation celebration last month. But on Friday, the Class of 2020 had an opportunity to say a final in-person goodbye to their beloved school. Dressed in white dresses, the 82 graduates gathered across from Salisbury Hall for an outdoor graduation, celebrating a senior year they won’t forget.

Sacred Heart Greenwich graduated 82 young women on June 5, 2020. Sacred Heart Greenwich is proud to recognize Valentina Grether as valedictorian and Caroline Badagliacca and Elisa Howard as co-salutatorians for the Class of 2020.

Last week, I announced the formation of a new Board Committee now known as One Heart: Advancing Equity, Diversity & Inclusion co-chaired by Carmen Hughes P’27, ’31 and Sandie O’Connor P’19, ’23. Its mission is: to intentionally build and strengthen a more diverse and inclusive environment in which all students, faculty, and staff feel valued, respected, and connected to one another so that each can do his/her best work, share his/her ideas and perspectives, and have a consistent experience of belonging.
