“When our alumnae come back and speak about what they have learned and accomplished, they provide our students with great hope for the future,” said science teacher Melissa Bleakney. “It is such a gift for these women to offer their time and share their wisdom. Of greatest value are their stories of overcoming obstacles or discovering that the path to actualizing their goals is not immediately evident or linear. These stories of perseverance inspire our current students to think flexibly and persist tenaciously in pursuit of their own dreams. As a teacher, I am delighted to see how these former students have developed their gifts and how they continue to lead lives guided by the Goals.”
