Remarks from Tatiyana Oreggo-Dupree, Gala Student Speaker

"The Catholic Schools Foundation has given me opportunities I never could have imagined. Thanks to CSF, I discovered my passion for learning and have achieved success I never thought possible. I will be the first in my family to graduate High School. Although former student speakers went to colleges like Holy Cross, Stonehill and Emmanuel, I am proud to say I will be attending my dream school, Boston College." 

 

Remarks from John Connaughton, Who Accepted the Award on Behalf of the 2025 Gala Honoree, Bain Capital
