Seton Keough Remembers 9-11 |
Back to School
Seton Keough faculty and staff welcomed the student body back to school on Tuesday, August 26. The freshmen, transfer, and international students began their time at Seton Keough with an orientation on Monday, August 25. How wonderful it is to have so many happy, smiling faces in the hallways once again.
Over the summer the school underwent many updates starting with the most important, the installation of new
President Donna Bridickas on July 1st. She took over a much-improved space for the President's Office. The development, alumnae relations, and registrar's offices have been moved around to improve the flow.
In early June, new bleachers were installed in the gymnasium. The bleachers are electric and can be opened and closed with a button and are a huge improvement over the wooden bleachers that dated back to the opening of Archbishop Keough in 1965.
Ten teachers, who are part of the Archdiocese of Baltimore's Operation Teach Program, will be occupying the second and third floors of what was at one time the convent. Considerable renovations were done to the plumbing and electrical systems.
The Archdiocese of Baltimore, in addition to assisting with the renovations to the convent, spent over $100K to repair and update the sewer system of the main building. While this may not seem exciting on the surface, it was a significant investment to the school's infrastructure and overall curb appeal.
Finally, a new computer lab has been added to the library to create a new resource for students to do their homework, research, and study.
Alumnae are always welcome to visit campus, please stop by anytime to see all the improvements!
