2009 Annual Report For The Women Of - Rosati-Kain High School

Letter from the President
Dear Alumnae and Friends,
Rosati-Kain High School has a blessed history, and 2008-2009 was no
exception. In this annual report you will read of success and celebration. You will also be
reminded that our school is touched by loss. The successes of the class of 2009 reflect their
lifetime of learning, growing and maturing. Four years of that lifetime has been spent at R-K
and shared with the classes that preceded them and those that will follow. We are very proud of
them and pray that they will continue to grow in wisdom, age, and grace as they bring their own
experience of Jesus Christ to the world they meet.
2008-2009 saw the implementation of the president/principal model of school leadership at
Rosati-Kain. Judy Peteraf Mohan, R-K class of 1975, returned to Rosati-Kain to assume the
academic leadership of our school. Mrs. Mohan came to R-K after a long and successful career
as an English teacher in an all-girl high school. Her classroom experience, faculty leadership
and recent academic preparation in St. Louis University’s Catholic School Leadership Program
were all utilized as she ably navigated through her freshman year as a high school Principal.
Rosati’s students and academic program are in capable, compassionate, and courageous care.
The Rosati-Kain High School centennial, which we will celebrate in 2011-2012, seems to
be right around the corner will bring special blessings and opportunities. The many alumnae,
friends, advocates and benefactors of R-K will be called upon to celebrate our history
and enhance our future so that the mission of Catholic education, lived out uniquely at
Rosati-Kain, will thrive for generations to come.
Thank you for your loyal support of Rosati-Kain through your prayers, your moral support,
and your treasure. May God continue to bless this holy endeavor for many years to come.
In Notre Dame,
Sister Joan Andert, SSND ’69
President
