2. St. Agnes Academy Rebecca Brady ‘00 Associate Academic Dean Administrative Internship Spring 2015

3. OUR MISSION Rooted in the Dominican tradition, St. Agnes Academy provides a Catholic college preparatory education that encourages young women to develop intellectual curiosity, to work for social justice and to act with integrity and compassion.

4. THE DOMINICAN BLESSING May the Creator bless us, may the Redeemer heal us, may the Holy Spirit enlighten us And give us eyes to see, ears to hear and hands to do the work of God; Feet to walk the path of justice and mouths to preach the Good News. May the angel of peace watch over us and lead us, at last, to the Reign of God. Amen.

6. A very important word around St. Agnes is VERITAS, the Dominican motto meaning truth, which permeates the educational endeavors at St. Agnes. It is the name of the yearbook and it is found on the senior rings. Equally familiar is the VERITAS shield, which is a compendium of St. Dominic's life and ideals: the vision of the dog with the burning brand which his mother saw before his birth; the star which emblazoned his forehead (symbol of heavenly wisdom); the lilies of purity and the palm of victory; the swords of justice and of truth; the Rosary, and the crown surmounting all, with the eight stars representing the beatitudes. The St. Agnes Academy mascot logo was developed by a group of students, faculty, staff and alumnae in 2007 to celebrate the Tiger spirit in athletics, student organizations and campus life.

10. Something I’ve learned here is that there’s no limit. St. Agnes has pushed me past what I thought I could do. It was unreal. In some ways, I think it shows you that we’re limitless. You can never just contain yourself. You can always be better and push harder. - Student
