Class of 2029 Marks Midpoint Milestone at Sophomore Pin Ceremony

On Monday, November 9, the Class of 2029 gathered for the Sophomore Pin Ceremony, one of Notre Dame Preparatory School’s newer traditions, to mark the halfway point of their high school journey.

The ceremony took place in the Chapel, where students heard from Dr. Vic Pellechia, Upper Level Principal, Dr. Angela Allen, Head of School, and Leila G. ‘29, Class President. Their remarks gave the sophomores a moment to pause and reflect together on how far they have come since first arriving to NDP's Upper Level as freshmen.

At the heart of the ceremony, each student received her class pin, designed in the Class of 2029’s class colors and bearing their graduation year. Before the pins were distributed, they were blessed, grounding the milestone in the faith that shapes life at NDP. More than a keepsake, the pin is a symbol of sisterhood. It represents the shared experiences, friendships, and memories that have already begun to bind this class together, as well as the growing connection each student feels to the traditions that generations of NDP women have carried before them.

As the Class of 2029 looks ahead to the second half of their time at NDP, their pins serve as a reminder that they continue the journey side by side. Congratulations to the Class of 2029 on reaching this meaningful milestone!
