The members of The Myles Scully Division #1 visited Maria
Regina High School in Hartsdale this week to present a $1,000 donation in
support of the school’s recent fundraising effort. The Ancient Order of
Hibernians has had a long history of supporting Catholic Education since its
founding over 175 years ago.
Division Charities and Missions Chairman Jack McDonald, along with Treasurer Mike Morley and Past Division President Tom Allison were given a tour of the
school by Principal Valerie Reidy and
were shown where there are plans on making extensive upgrades to both the
school infrastructure and its educational programs. These plans include a particular focus on
making improvements to its computer and technology education programs to better
prepare its students to compete in today’s job environment.
“We are truly grateful for their generous
donation. If it wasn’t for supporters like the AOH, our efforts to remain
affordable while providing a quality catholic secondary education that keeps
pace with instructional technology would be even more challenging. We are
extremely thankful for their willingness to make a difference in the lives of
the students who are entrusted in our care;” said Mrs. Reidy.
Funds for the donation that was presented were raised at
the Hibernian’s Annual Charity Golf Outing which is held every spring.
Maria Regina High School is an independent Catholic All
Girls High School that was founded by The Sisters of the Resurrection in 1957.
