A Celebration

125 Years

in the Making!!

On August 27, 2013 when the doors opened and students from K1 to Grade 8 entered Saint Agnes School in Arlington, it was the 125th time students and teachers began another first day of school. To mark this historic moment, a yearlong celebration of the history and legacy of the school will take place this year. After a year of planning, the 125th Celebration Committee, chaired by alumnus Dr. Larry Barton, ‘70 has scheduled some special events for alumni, students, parents (past and present) and friends of the school to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of the opening of the school. On Saturday, September 28, 2013, there will be a Fun Run/ Walk Road Race at the Medford Boat Club at 9AM. On Sunday, October 20, 2013, the school will host an Alumni and Friends Reunion Liturgy and Breakfast. The 125th Celebration Gala will be held at the Marriott in Burlington on Saturday, April 5, 2014. Cardinal Sean O’ Malley, the Archbishop of Boston will celebrate the Liturgy on May 29, 2014 which will be followed by a Donors Luncheon.  Students will also participate in a number of activities throughout the school year.

The 125th Fund has been established to raise funds for a new Music and Performing Arts Center.
This will transform the school auditorium into a venue that can be shared with Arlington Catholic and Fidelity House.
