Marist School’s Alumni Women’s Luncheon took place on Wednesday, April 17 at the Urban Art Collective in Chamblee, Georgia. The annual luncheon fosters connections among female Marist graduates and provides a platform for them to reminisce and forge new bonds. This year's event celebrated the achievements of artist and small business owner Christy Taylor Holmes from the Class of 1987. Holmes’ artistic endeavor, 3rd Quarter Studio, is located within Urban Art Collective, where she creates mixed media paintings. Holmes welcomed fellow Marist alumni to her gallery and shared insights into her creative and professional journey since her days at Marist.

Marist School celebrated St. Peter Chanel Day on Thursday, April 25, an event deeply embedded in the school's history and cherished traditions. The day-long celebration has become a hallmark of the Marist experience for many students. While many may look forward to the time spent outside of the classroom socializing with friends, playing games, and listening to live music from the student bands, the morning begins with a Mass to remind all gathered of the reason for the festivities. The occasion pays homage to St. Peter Chanel, the first Marist saint martyred on the island of Futuna, whose selfless dedication to Christ serves as an inspiration.

Nominations and selections are driven by peer recognition, with recipients receiving not only accolades but also professional development opportunities and a stipend.

The award complements Marist’s endeavor to provide a vibrant educational experience, where innovation meets tradition in a blend of cutting-edge technology and time-honored pedagogy.
