As our Ursuline Academy Class of 2024 have now crossed the stage and graduated, we wanted to celebrate their achievements and matriculations. We are proud to announce the Class of 2024's matriculations, as well as the Senior Awards, honoring all the ways these young women have excelled in living out our Ursuline values.
For the 175th Class of Ursuline Academy, we are thrilled to share the top 5 members of the Class of 2024. In an incredible showcasing of academic excellence and rigor, we had a four-way tie for Valedictorian, with our Salutatorian close behind them.
Congratulations from left to right:
⭐️ Emma Hingle - Valedictorian
⭐️ Kaitlyn Thole - Valedictorian
⭐️ Catherine Teng - Salutatorian
⭐️ Alayna Quigley - Valedictorian
⭐️ Suzie Hanley - Valedictorian
All five of these young women have excelled both in and outside of the classroom. Each of them has served as an incredible leader within our school community, was a four-year athlete, a member of at least one honors society, and has modeled our Ursuline values proudly.

Graduation Awards
The CLC Award
The CLC Award recognizes a member of the graduating class who exemplifies the Ursuline values of Courtesy, Loyalty and Courage. This tradition is carried on at many Ursuline schools throughout North America. Ursuline Academy is proud to recognize Charlotte Weinhardt as the 2024 honoree.
The Spirit of St. Ursula Award
St. Ursula had such undeviating confidence in God’s plan for her that, even amidst adversity and challenge, she demonstrated courage, perseverance, and a zeal for life. It was these characteristics that inspired St. Angela to name her Company of Women after St. Ursula. With this Spirit of St. Ursula Award, we honor a young woman who embodies these same inspirational qualities.
Ursuline Academy is proud to recognize Grace Rose as the 2024 honoree.
The SHARPE Award
The SHARPE Award was first presented in 1982 to honor three long-time Ursuline teachers, Mrs. Marie Sherman, Mrs. Thelma Hartnett, and Mrs. Jan Peterson. In honor of these three outstanding teachers, the SHARPE Award was created to recognize a student for her independent thinking, creativity, and initiative in scholarship. The faculty and staff vote for the student who best exemplifies these qualities. Ursuline Academy is proud to recognize Grace Hoy as the 2024 honoree.
