Dear Alumnae:
We are deeply saddened to learn
that allegations of sexual misconduct have been made by one of our former
students against a former camp assistant at a summer program held at Mother
McAuley. The accused is not and has never been a teacher at Mother McAuley.
Rather, the individual participated in the School's summer theater program,
but, has not been affiliated with that program in several years.
It has been the long-standing
mission of Mother McAuley High School to provide quality education to young
women. Along with formal education, the
School strives to teach young women to think critically, communicate effectively,
and respond compassionately to the needs of the community and assume roles of
Christian leadership.
Mother McAuley High School wishes
to reaffirm its Mission and assure all in the community that the safety and
protection of the young people entrusted to the School's care is of paramount
importance.
Our prayers go out to all involved in this matter.
Dr.
Christine Melone
