Welcome Alumnae!
St. Mary’s Academy Alumnae are members of a unique and special community. Your four years at SMA may have been brief, but your relationship to the school is life-long. Our alumnae are critical to the life of the school today, and your participation and support of the school allows us to continue a tradition of educational excellence.
Engagement with St. Mary’s Academy comes in many forms, and we are happy to help connect you to the school in ways you find meaningful. We host a variety of events, all of which are intended to allow alumnae to stay in touch, network, and fellowship. Additionally, the Mission Advancement Office maintains social media profiles and sends monthly e-newsletters.

Class Reunions
St. Mary's Academy understands the value of its alumnae connecting with St. Mary’s, as well as with your former classmates, community members, and teachers. As such, we are happy to provide you with a variety of ways to conduct reunions.
School-Hosted Reunions
We’re happy to host two reunions for our alumnae on the campus of St. Mary’s Academy. The first is an all-class Homecoming Reception in September 2023. All alumnae will be encouraged to attend an informal cocktail reception before the Homecoming volleyball game.
The second is the annual Golden Grad Luncheon (for those celebrating 50, 60, 70, and 80 years) on June 8, 2024. This year, that reunion will be for the Class of 1974, 1964, 1954, and 1944.
If you would like to help plan either of these events, please email us at advancement@cijiyaoye.com.
Class-Hosted Reunions
We’re also happy to have St. Mary’s Academy be the site for class-hosted reunions. We have a beautiful dining hall, spiritual chapel, and Student Ambassadors able to lead official campus and classroom tours.
Whether hosting the reunion on or off campus, we can assist by providing access to the class and marketing of the event.
Please email us at advancement@cijiyaoye.com to get started!
