Alumnae Au Courant September 2016 Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year. We are happy to introduce 75 freshly minted Sacred Heart Greenwich graduates to the alumnae base. 100 percent of the class of 2016 donated to Sacred Heart Greenwich their senior year and we look forward to the same active participation from our class of 2017 as well as all other classes. Our reunion will be held on Saturday, September 24 in conjunction with the Fall Festival. We hope ALL graduates from EVERY year will return to campus for Fall Festival, athletic competitions, tours of the school, the liturgy and awards presentation, as well as the cocktail reception. It is a great way to connect with classmates; find more information under "Save the Date" below. We look forward to your continued support and enthusiasm as we embark on our 168th year in Greenwich.
