Alumnae Awards

 

Thanks to all who came out to celebrate the sacred bonds of sisterhood at the 32nd Annual SHA Alumnae Awards on February 9, 2023. Our powerful 145-year tradition of Ursuline education, excellence in academics, arts and athletics and the unparalleled spirit of the Sacred Heart community were on full display at this year’s event. In a bustling room at the Mellwood Art Center, alumnae, family, friends, classmates, co-workers, mentors, current students, Ursuline Sisters, and trustees gathered to celebrate our nine distinguished honorees (including SHA’s own Bob Wheatley & Donna Bender Moir ’79 and the full 1976 State Basketball Champs!) and share gratitude for our Sacred Heart education rooted in our Ursuline Core Values of Community, Reverence, Service and Leadership.

Honorees included: Karen Cassidy ’74 (Alumna of the Year), Stacy Hennessy ’75 (Ursuline Teaching Legacy Award), Fr. Jim Flynn (Honorary SHA Diploma recipient), Mo McKnight Howe ’04 (Heart Award), Samantha Stallings ’11 (Heart Award) Bob Wheatley (Hall of Fame), Lindsay Boling ’06 (Hall of Fame), Lindsay Gahm ’10 (Hall of Fame), and the 1976 Women’s KY State Basketball Championship Team (Hall of Fame).

 

Special thanks to the SHA alumnae board and event co-chairs Judy Watson Gordon ’76 and Caroline South ’10 for their hard work on this spectacular event!
