Special AOD Honor for Mary Vallone

Congratulations to Mary Vallone, Mercy HS Administrative Assistant to the Principal, on receiving the 2026 Department of Catholic Schools Sylvia A. Kolaz Administrative Assistant of the Year Award from the AOD!

"Mary is the kind of person who makes a school better simply by being there. She serves because she cares. She cares about the students, the faculty and staff, and about Mercy as a whole. Much of Mary's work happens behind the scenes, but it matters. She helps solve problems, supports the people around her, and keeps things moving when there are a hundred other things happening at the same time."
