Dear Cate alumni,
The 2009-10 academic year has officially started! The campus has been reenergized after the quiet summer months.
I am excited to announce our new and improved alumni website. Many thanks to Mike Ferguson, Development/Technology, for his help and hard work on this endeavor! One of the new additions: We now have school Bulletin's from 1970 - 2009 available electronically. Click on the books and read what's inside. Check it out! |

Thank you for reading. Keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Hallie Preston
