‘Stone Ridge legend’ Sister Anne Dyer encourages centennial class graduates to reflect goals of Sacred Heart education in their lives
As she addressed the 96 young women in the class of 2023 of Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bethesda at the school’s June 8 commencement ceremony, Catherine Ronan Karrels – the Head of School – noted how school officials discussed who would make the perfect graduation speaker to close out Stone Ridge’s centennial year celebration.
“Only one person came to mind – Sister Anne Dyer. With more than 75 years of personal history in various roles in our school community, there simply never has been an individual who has had more of an impact on our school,” Karrels said as she introduced the Religious of the Sacred Heart whose order has sponsored the school since it was founded in Washington, D.C., in 1923.
