It’s hard to believe that another summer is behind us and that school is back in session. What may be harder to believe is that it has been 20 years since Seton and Archbishop Keough High Schools came together to form Seton Keough High School. The entire Seton Keough community will celebrate this milestone with special events and recognitions throughout the year. We hope you will participate whenever you are able. This month’s Alumlines is quite full; please take the time to read it carefully for important dates, requests and information.

How Did Seton Keough Prepare You For Life?
This year as part of Seton Keough’s 20th anniversary celebration, we are planning a display for Open House where we can share quotes from alumnae about how their education at Seton Keough prepared them for life, careers, and adulthood. We will use as many of the quotes as we can on the display, and the rest will be included on anniversary celebration pages of the Seton Keough web site. We plan to display the quotes along with the alumna’s yearbook photo and a current photo as well. Since Seton Keough is based on the educational foundation and traditions of Seton and Archbishop Keough, all alumnae are invited to participate. If you would like to share some of your experience, please send quotes to Tracey Stone, Alumnae Director, at tstone@setonkeough.com. Be sure to include: your name (first-maiden-last); graduation/school year; and your occupation/title/career field along with your quote. Say all that you would like and we will edit for space as necessary. Include a current photo of yourself as well if possible. Deadline: Oct. 10th.
Alumnae Awards
As part of Seton Keough’s 20th anniversary celebrations, we are initiating two new alumnae honors: Athletic Hall of Fame and Distinguished Alumna awards. Both programs are open to Seton, Archbishop Keough, and Seton Keough alumnae. For award criteria and other information, visit the Alumnae page of the Seton Keough web site to view and download nomination forms: Athletic Hall of Fame Nomination Form | Distinguished Alumnae Nomination Form.

Seton Keough Alumnae License Plates: Introductory Deadline Extended

The Maryland-only license plate will feature a green Seton Keough logo and 4 numbers, with the words "Seton Keough Alumnae" along the bottom. Click here to see Mt. St. Joe's alumni plate as an example. In order for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration to design and offer these plates for sale, we must have a minimum of 25 people sign up and pay a $25 fee (our cost) for the plates.
