Class of 1946
We can’t wait to welcome you back home to The Mary Louis Academy for your 80th Reunion. There is nothing like being together again with classmates and reminiscing about your days on the Hill.
You’re Invited
This reunion provides a moment for the Class of 1946 to look back with gratitude, take pride in all that TMLA has become, and cherish the traditions that continue to shape our community today.
Join us to share stories, reconnect with friends, and create new memories that will last a lifetime.

Official Class Reunion Photo & Buffet Dinner to Follow
In honor of your jubilee reunion, you are invited as a guest of TMLA. Additional guests are welcome at $100 per person.
Your reply is kindly requested by Saturday, October 24, whether or not you are able to attend.
Giving Back Together
Your Reunion is not only a celebration, it is also an opportunity to come together in support of TMLA’s future. As members of one of TMLA’s earliest graduating classes, you hold a special place in the history of Mary Louis. By joining with your classmates in making a Reunion Class Gift, you honor the legacy of the Class of 1946 while helping ensure that the values and opportunities that shaped your experience continue for generations to come.
This year, your gift can have even greater impact. The Sisters of St. Joseph have extended a special matching challenge to their four sponsored schools. If TMLA raises $250,000 by December 31, 2026, the Sisters will contribute an additional $250,000. Every gift to your Reunion Class Gift helps move TMLA closer to unlocking the full match.
As a mission-driven school, TMLA is not sustained by tuition alone. The generosity of our alums helps provide scholarships and financial assistance, strengthen programs, care for our campus, and empower young women to lead lives of purpose and impact.
Whether or not you are able to attend Reunion, we hope you will consider participating in your Class Gift as a meaningful way to celebrate your enduring connection to TMLA and help carry forward the legacy you helped build.
Thank you for continuing to be part of the Mary Louis story and for giving back, together.
In Memoriam
Let us remember those classmates who have gone before us. During our Reunion, we will honor them in a special way as part of our Celebration of Remembrance, giving thanks for the lives they lived, the friendships they shared, and the place they will always hold in the TMLA community.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
