Get Involved
Students have so much to learn from the experiences, studies, and work of alumnae. If you are interested in getting involved on campus please fill out this form to engage directly with students and other alumnae.
Alumnae Sister Program
The Alumnae Sister Program pairs alumnae with a rising junior to mentor and follow through graduation. The mentor develops a meaningful relationship with their mentee and provides guidance and insight into life after SMA. We are currently looking for alumnae mentors for the 2026 - 2026 school year! If you are interested in becoming an alumnae sister to one of these rising juniors, please sign up below.
There will be an Alumnae Sisters Kickoff Coffee on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at 8 a.m. on the High School patio. This is a great opportunity to meet your new alumnae sister in person to kick off the year! All prior alumnae sisters are also invited.
Volunteer to be an alumnae sister today!
For questions or additional information about becoming a mentor, contact Kathleen Hogan at khogan@smanet.org or 303-762-8300 ext. 499.
Sponsor an Event
Each year St. Mary’s Academy hosts the Annual Wildcat Classic Golf Tournament in the fall and the Gala in the Spring. There are also additional alumnae event sponsorship opportunities throughout the year. By sponsoring an event, you can make a direct impact on the students of today and help the SMA community grow. For more information about sponsorship opportunities, please contact Sarah Mellick ‘06 at smellick@smanet.org or by phone at 303-762-8300 ext. 283.
Be a Guest Speaker
Students love hearing about the accomplishments of our alumnae. Whether in classes, an assembly, or special event, alumnae guest speakers provide valuable insight to our High School students. Emily Bechtold ‘09 presented to AP classes to share her experience in her post-graduate and Ph.D. studies of monkeys in Ethiopia, ticks in New England, and microbiomes in drought-tolerant grass. Emily told the graduating seniors in the class to be open-minded because while she thought she wanted to be a doctor, she discovered her passion was in studying the role microbes play in global warming.
This year, the SMA Speaker Series will feature a young alumnae panel to provide advice to current students and parents about the transition to college. This event will take place on January 8, 2026. Contact Kathleen Hogan at khogan@smanet.org if you are interested in participating.
Join the Alumnae Board
The Alumnae Board dates back to November 1908, when it was organized as the "Alumnae Association". Today the Alumnae Board continues its work to engage with the community, connect alumnae to current students, and spread the Loretto values. If you are interested in joining the Alumnae Board or would like more information, please contact Kathleen Hogan at khogan@smanet.org or by phone at 303-760-8300 ext. 499.
