Alumnae Awards

Honoring Our Alumnae's Achievements

Throughout the past 134 years, more than 18,927 young women have walked the halls of Saint Joseph Academy. These remarkable individuals have transformed into accomplished alumnae, serving as a source of admiration and inspiration for all. Each year, we come together to honor the achievements of our extraordinary alumnae, be it on the field or court, in their professions, within their parishes, in communities, or in the tapestry of their everyday lives.

Distinguished Alumna

The Distinguished Alumna Award was established in 1990 to recognize the achievements of our Saint Joseph Academy, Nazareth Academy and Saint Therese Academy graduates. An alumna is chosen for her service to Catholic education, her parish, her community and to women's leadership causes; service in her chosen vocation; living out the mission and philosophy of her alma mater; achievements or special recognition in her career or volunteer work. The nominee must have graduated from one of the Academies for fifteen or more years, and her achievements in her personal life or career must reflect the pursuit of excellence instilled and inspired by Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph.
 
Since 2016, the Distinguished Alumna Award has been presented during Saint Joseph Academy’s annual “Celebrate the Academy” gala. The 2025 Distinguished Alumna Award recognized the hard work and contributions of Maureen (Fallon) Adler '79!
