For more than 150 years, traditions have connected generations of Ursuline students. Some mark meaningful milestones, while others simply bring our community together, each becoming part of the experience students carry with them long after graduation.
From Freshman Convocation to Graduation, Ursuline traditions mark meaningful moments throughout each student’s four-year journey. Shared across generations, these experiences build belonging and connect today’s students with Ursuline’s rich heritage.
Graduating seniors and their families celebrate their achievements at a special Mass followed by a festive brunch held the day before Graduation ceremonies in May.
Each class enjoys the privilege and camaraderie of a retreat (one-day for underclassmen and overnight for upperclassmen), which brings students into greater harmony with themselves, their classmates, and with God.
The Student Council oversees the activities of this special week, usually celebrated in late January or February. Ursuline honors its history and highlights the benefits of attending a Catholic school.
