I graduated in 1957...! a few years ago, for sure....
I loved it, and went on to CM, in their first graduating class of 1961..
I imagine the updated model of "St. T's" is all the better!... My daughter, Heather Pon-Barry, is getting her Ph.D. at Harvard this Fall... The "effects" of St. Theresa School last for generations!..
I imagine all the nuns are gone, but..."Hats Off" to their extreme dedication.
