Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award

Do you know an exceptional woman, an alumna of Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, and a person you admire?  Then we invite you to recommend her for the 2006 Barbara Boggs Sigmund Alumnae Award.

Barbara Boggs Sigmund was an exceptional woman and Sacred Heart alumna (The Rosary, Stone Ridge, and Manhattanville), whose commitment to Sacred Heart values included teaching at Stuart and serving her community as mayor of Princeton Borough.  This alumnae award was established in her honor and highlights the achievements of Stuart alumnae whose lives are a testament to the relevance and merit of a Sacred Heart education in the contemporary world.

In considering an alumna for this award, please keep in mind the criteria which requires the candidate to demonstrate a commitment in her life to the Sacred Heart values of:
