A Baccalaureate Mass honoring the Class of 2018 graduates will be held in Rosarian Academy’s Theater on Thursday, May 24 at 9:30 AM. Father Brian King, secretary to Bishop Barbarito, will celebrate the liturgy.
Immediately following the Mass, a brunch honoring the eighth graders and their families will be held in the school’s Dining Hall. The brunch is organized by seventh grade mothers and the Rosarian Academy Family Association.
Later Thursday, the graduation ceremony will also take place in the Theater beginning at 5:00 PM. Class of 2009 alumna, Melanie Grande, will be the commencement speaker. Melanie currently works for NASA at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. She holds an undergraduate degree from Purdue University in aeronautics and astronautics and will return to Purdue for graduate school in August. Earlier this year, Melanie was selected by the Purdue chapter of The Mars Society to be part of a seven-person team in a two-week simulation mission at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah. A “Charter Club” member of Rosarian Academy, Melanie attended Rosarian continuously from the Early Childhood Montessori program through eighth grade. She graduated from Rosarian with the highest GPA in her graduating class and proceeded to attend Suncoast Community High School with her focus in math, science and engineering.
