On June 4, 2011,
after 100 years of providing excellent
Catholic education to the families of
Washington Heights,
Incarnation opened its doors yet again to
welcome over 200 of its alumni home for its
Centennial Celebration. The event was a
huge success, raising just under $30,000 for
curriculum enhancements. The event began
with a Centennial Mass celebrated by
Archbishop Timothy Dolan. Immediately
following, Archbishop Dolan joined alumni
and friends of the school at a reception
featuring student vocal and ballroom dance
performances, a silent auction and
raffles.
Current Incarnation students volunteered as
tour guides and mingled and shared stories
with the alumni. Alumni from graduating
classes ranging from 1948 to 1999 had a
chance to catch up with each other, meet
their predecessors and successors, and check
out their old classrooms. One alum
commented, “What a nice job everybody did.
The kids were great, they were all so well
behaved, so polite. It was really a nice
time.”
Incarnation remains extremely thankful for
its wonderful alumni and friends. Special
thanks to everyone who joined us and helped
make the Centennial Celebration a success!
