Marywood Alumnae reunion

The last Marywood All-School Reunion took place on Saturday, August 29, 2015, at the former Marywood Campus. If you have pictures from the final reunion that you would be willing to share, we would like to showcase the photos here. For other questions, contact Cami Pritchett, Constituent Engagement/Planned Giving Manager, who is heading the alumnae/i relations area of our department at this time. You may reach her at 812-535-2807 or email cpritchett@spsmw.org.

The 1977 Servite High School hosted their 40th reunion recently and invited the Marywood class of 1977 to join with them to celebrate. Although we’re unsure if any Marywood alumnae attended, Servite reports having a wonderful time. They are hoping that they can again join with Marywood to participate in a future anniversary celebration.
For more information or to help, contact Tom Burke ’77 at Servitereunion77@outlook.com or look for updates at servitehs.org/1977.

History of Marywood High School

The former St. Joseph Academy was purchased in 1934 from the Dominican Sisters whose motherhouse was in Cuba. Marywood High School was primarily a college prep high school for girls of Orange County and a boarding school for girls of other localities. A limited number were accepted for grade school; this discontinued in 1949. Expansion of enrollment led to a new location at Nohl Ranch in Orange County and was dedicated on Dec. 5, 1964. The school also attracted international students from nine countries. Marywood was closed in 1980.
