“No work of Charity can be more productive of good to society than the careful instruction of women”

Mother Catherine McAuley

Welcome to the Academy of our Lady of Guam!

I am honored and humbled to serve as the President of AOLG.  A 1988 graduate of the Academy, a cougar basketball coach in the 90s, a proud mom of girls in the classes of 2018 and 2023, and an AOLG teacher and administrator, I have been blessed to be part of the AOLG tradition for so many years.  A return to the halls of the Academy brings me wonderful memories of the faith filled, well-rounded education I received so long ago.   Times change, but the essence of the school’s mission remains the same: to promote the holistic development of young women fostering academic excellence, responsible leadership, global awareness, social justice, and compassionate service for all in the tradition of the Catholic faith.

Here at the Academy, we are committed to the continuity of the school’s traditions and upholding our Mercy charism and Catholic beliefs.  I am excited to work with the school’s phenomenal Leadership Team, faculty, and staff and I look forward to partnering with and building relationships with parents, alumnae, and benefactors to shape the school’s vision for years to come. Together, we can continue to educate, inspire, and empower the young women of the Academy.

 

We are especially grateful for those of you who have entrusted the education and care of your children to us.  We are confident that no matter the path these young women take in life, God and the Academy “sisterhood” will always be present to support and cheer them on.  You are always welcome to join in our school activities, both on and off campus, and to share in the bonds of friendship created amongst our students and school community.

May God continue to bless us and Santa Marian Kamalen protect us as we journey towards faith-filled achievement and academic excellence for all our students.  Thank you for choosing Catholic education.  Thank you for choosing the Academy of Our Lady of Guam.

In Mercy.
