Congratulations, Graduates
On May 10, under a huge tent on a soggy lawn, 426 students walked into their future at St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s Commencement. Valedictorian Amanda “Mandy” Heatwole from Damascus, Maryland, graduated at the top of the class with a 4.0 grade average. In her address to her peers, Heatwole said, “Thank you for lending me your grace, St. Mary’s, I will pass it on.” This fall, Heatwole will return to SMCM to extend her bachelor’s degree in English into a Master of Arts in Teaching. She plans to become a high school English teacher. See full press release.
