Hello Alumni, Students, Faculty, and Families of the St Mary’s community, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Jennifer Krzyzanowski Wiech, and I am the new Alumni Director at St Mary’s High School. As a 1992 graduate of St. Mary’s, I have spent the past 20 years filling my life with a myriad of adventures. Over those years, I have filled my time earning degrees in both business and education, beginning my own business, serving on several community boards, and most importantly, starting a family with my husband and two lovely children! Now, after all these years, I find my life coming full circle, returning back to the place I’ve always loved, which began it all… St. Mary’s High School.

One of the best parts of being back at St. Mary’s is reconnecting with the people that have helped influence my life. Seeing the familiar faces of Mr. Fay, Mrs. Rosenthal, and Mrs. Aures bring me back to all the wonderful times I had in high school. Attending the First Friday liturgies, celebrating Homecoming, even merely walking the halls remind me what being a part of St. Mary’s is all about… Community. Looking at the class pictures on the walls only illustrate a small portion of what being a graduate here truly means. The alumni in the pictures may not still be a direct part of St. Mary’s, but St. Mary’s will always be a direct part of them.

As the new Alumni Director for St. Mary’s, I have several goals…

• To always be open to alumni feedback
• To increase alumni participation
• To not only maintain previous standards, but strive to increase them
• To invite any and all alumni to play an active role within the school
• To use my education and experience to benefit the St. Mary’s community, past and present

Have a blessed day,

Jennifer Wiech

The Alumni Office is charged with developing effective community relations programs, and actively engaging alumni in the life of St. Mary’s through special events, reunions, and gatherings that keep them connected to St. Mary’s. The interactions our alumni have with current students helps provide a network of support that begins during their time at St. Mary’s and keeps them connected upon graduation. The success of our alumni continually reminds us of the amazing things that happen when students discover their God-given gifts while at St. Mary’s and use them to make a difference in their communities. There are so many ways to stay connected with your St. Mary’s family.
