 Open
House 2007
Mary Regina Bolgiano ‘04
was invited to speak as an alumna for our presentation to Middle
School parents during our Open House on November 2, 2007. Mary Regina
spoke of her experiences as a student at The School of the Cathedral.
Please read her speech below.
Good morning! My name is Mary
Regina Bolgiano and I’m a senior this year at NDP. I was the
commissioner general at Cathedral and I graduated from Cathedral on
June 4, 2004. Yes, I still remember the exact day, and it doesn’t
even seem too long ago.
Memories from Cathedral Middle
School are some of my favorite memories of Cathedral. One of the
best things about attending Cathedral for the full nine years was
the bond that I shared with my classmates. I knew so much about
every one of them and in our final years we all loved reminiscing
about events that only our class understood. Today, I still stay in
touch with some of my classmates from the Class of 2004.
Academically, Cathedral middle
school prepared me well for high school. At NDP, some of the
students were taking exams for the first time their freshmen year.
Having taken exams since the third grade, I already knew how to
study well. The transition from Cathedral Middle school to High
school was not terrifying or extremely difficult, but exciting and
challenging. I was well prepared for all of my classes. The math,
science, history, and Spanish classes at Cathedral were the building
blocks for the more in-depth information I learned in high school.
Even some of the English books I read in seventh and eighth grade at
Cathedral were assigned for freshmen, junior, and even senior
English classes at NDP. It was easier for me to have a background in
these subjects from Cathedral and then to explore the subject
material even deeper in High school.
Spiritually, Cathedral has no
comparison. One of my favorite memories from Cathedral is hearing
the church bells chime whenever mass was scheduled to begin.
Religion classes, confirmation with the same group with whom I
received First Communion, the Cathedral Youth Group, community
service projects, and school and class Masses are all memories that
I do not think I will ever forget.
Going to Middle school at
Cathedral was really great; because we had the chance to, in a
sense, rule the school. Having been an eighth grader at Cathedral,
I’ve already learned about the responsibility that goes with being
the oldest class at a school. There are so many perks about being a
Middle-schooler in Cathedral’s nurturing environment. From finally
getting the big trophies at the end-of-season athletic assemblies to
being able to take on greater leadership roles, the opportunities in
Cathedral Middle School are long dreamed about and worth waiting
for.
Even now, I would never change
my choice to stay at Cathedral for all nine years. The friendships,
the memories, the teachers, and the opportunities that Cathedral
offered are priceless. Cathedral is the school where I will always
feel at home.

At the 50th reunion of the Class of ‘57 thirteen classmates along with
