Outstanding Alumna 2009<br />
Peggy Lampley Robeson, ’60<br />
Peggy Lampley Robeson was named<br />
the Outstanding Alumna 2009 for all<br />
she has done for the St. Cecilia<br />
Academy family since her graduation<br />
in 1960 and for the bridge she has<br />
built between the school and her Class<br />
<strong>of</strong> 1960.<br />
Peggy Lampley Robeson, ’60, is a<br />
legend at St. Cecilia Academy.<br />
Her SCA classmate Pat Weisiger<br />
Morel said Peggy “has held the class<br />
together” since graduation. She has<br />
planned a class reunion for her class<br />
almost yearly as well as monthly<br />
“get-togethers.”<br />
“Peggy gives freely <strong>of</strong> herself to any<br />
and everyone who has any needs,”<br />
Mrs. Morel said. “She is warmhearted,<br />
loving and giving.”<br />
Peggy volunteers her time to St. Cecilia<br />
Academy in countless ways. She<br />
faithfully attends <strong>alumnae</strong> events,<br />
volunteers to help set up events and<br />
helps with such tasks as mailings.<br />
Peggy attended grade school at Holy<br />
Name. She began St. Cecilia Academy<br />
in 1956 at the Motherhouse. She<br />
graduated in 1960, the third class to<br />
graduate at the present day St. Cecilia<br />
Legacy Society could be your future at SCA<br />
St. Cecilia Academy has a proud<br />
legacy <strong>of</strong> developing young women<br />
for success in life. This work could<br />
not be done without the sacrifice<br />
and effort <strong>of</strong> the sisters and faculty<br />
who teach and mentor each<br />
student. They do not do this work<br />
alone. Without the help <strong>of</strong> our<br />
generous benefactors, St. Cecilia<br />
Academy would not be the school<br />
it is today. When you become a<br />
member <strong>of</strong> the Legacy Society, you<br />
join us in making the resources <strong>of</strong><br />
The Dominican Campus available<br />
for future generations.<br />
To become a member you may<br />

this summer.<br />
Academy on Harding Road. Her<br />
younger sister, Patricia Marie<br />
Lampley, followed in Peggy’s<br />
footsteps and graduated from St.<br />
Cecilia in 1963.<br />
After graduating from the University <strong>of</strong><br />
Tennessee, she married and began<br />
a career in the insurance industry.<br />
She is the proud mother <strong>of</strong> one son,<br />
John, and a step-daughter, Alicia.<br />
She was honored at this year’s Alumnae<br />
Association luncheon for “exemplifying<br />
the spirit <strong>of</strong> St. Cecilia Academy.” •<br />
