Student Leadership

At Nazareth, girls have many opportunities to discover themselves as leaders. Through our many clubs, activities, and athletic teams our girls are empowered to make decisions, plan events, and work collaboratively with their teachers and fellow classmates in an effort to advance the mission of Nazareth.

2024 - 25 Student Leadership Team

President - Mary Mulderig '25

Hi everyone! My name is Mary Mulderig, and I am the Student Body President for the 2024-2025 school year! Before Nazareth, I attended St. Katherine of Siena School in Philadelphia, PA. Between the warm welcome on the front steps, and the compassionate spirit of Nazareth's Sisterhood, it was a very easy transition when I started here. Nazareth has given me my sense of comfort and belonging through all of the opportunities it offers. Along with serving as a Student Council Representative for the past three years, I play both varsity soccer and lacrosse. I am a leader of Morgan’s Light Alliance, a Junior Kairos Leader, a member of the Cancer Awareness Club, Athletes Helping Athletes, and the Morale Committee for Naz-A-Thon. I’m grateful for all these events that have inspired me to become a leader. I look forward to listening, communicating, and implementing those ideas which best support our goals and objectives. Most importantly, I hope to guide you into making Nazareth your second home, and to love your school a million just like I do!

Vice President - Catherine Solitario '25

Hey everyone! I’m Catie Solitario and I’m the Student Council Vice President for the 2024-2025 school year. Before coming to Nazareth, I attended Nazareth Academy Grade School, so I practically knew my whole life that I would be a Panda! Being a part of the Nazareth Sisterhood is probably one of my all-time favorite things. It is such a special bond, that I truly believe you wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else. Aside from Student Council, I am involved in Naz-A-Thon, an NHS member, a Kairos leader, a yearbook editor, a Presidential Ambassador, a member of the Pandas Stand Up Club, and a member of the soccer and lacrosse teams. These are just some of the opportunities that Naz has provided me to get involved. I love Naz like no other and there is really no place like it. I am so thrilled to see all we can accomplish this year and I know this school year is going to be one for the books.

Secretary - Jillian DiMario '25

Hi everyone! My name Is Jill DiMario and I am the Student Body Secretary for the 2024-25 school year!! I am so beyond excited to be leading alongside such a special group of girls!! Before Naz, I was in the Pennsbury School District where I attended Eleanor Roosevelt Elementary and Pennwood Middle School. Coming from public school, I was nervous about the transition and making new friends, but between Freshman Week, the orientation a few days before school and being cheered up the Chapel steps my first day, I felt right at home! Nazareth has allowed me to step outside my comfort zone and get more involved, giving me more leadership opportunities! Beyond serving as a Student Council Representative, I am a Presidential Ambassador, Senior Kairos Leader, involved in Naz-A-Thon and clubs like Morgan’s Light Alliance, Cancer Awareness, and have been on the varsity softball team since Freshman year. I am so grateful for all the opportunities Nazareth has given me! I have made endless memories, and truly found my people here at Nazareth! I can’t wait to see what we will accomplish next year and hope that you will make Nazareth the place you call home! I love my school a million!!

Treasurer - Madalynn McKenna '25

Hello! My name is Madalynn McKenna and I am the Leadership Team Treasurer for the 2024-2025 school year. I couldn't be more excited to take on this role. In 8th Grade, I was conflicted about where I would end up going to high school. I was hesitant to go to Nazareth at first because not many girls from my grade school would be attending. Today, I think back to that time and I am so grateful that my parents and I made the right decision. I honestly can't see myself being anywhere else but Nazareth. At Naz, I am involved in many different things including soccer, basketball, Naz-A-Thon, Kairos, and various clubs. Over the past three years, I have truly found myself a home here at 4001 Grant Avenue and I am forever grateful for the people I have met and the memories I have made. I can't wait to see what this next year has in store for us. I love my school a million!

Student Leadership Organizations

The leadership clubs are a snapshot of the many clubs and activities that Nazareth Academy High School has to offer. These officers of these clubs are recognized as student leaders throughout our school community. The moderators and student leaders of these clubs promote student learning, enhance personal growth, and help students realize their full potential as part of their preparation for leading a satisfying and productive life. At Nazareth Academy High School our girls are more than just students.

Leadership Team and Student Council

The function of the Student Council is to represent student views to the faculty and administration and vice-versa. To accomplish this, members concern themselves with the student concerns, help to develop and maintain school spirit by providing activities and encouraging participation in them, and assist in maintaining discipline throughout the school. Student Council members and officers are elected from the senior, junior and sophomore classes. Homeroom presidents may be called in as ex-officio members of Council. Elected late in the first semester, 12 freshmen become associates and serve as councilors for the second semester.

They are the “face” of Nazareth and the school representation inside and outside of the campus. Their sense of loyalty, responsibility and duty, along with spiritedness and creativity adds to our school atmosphere and makes Nazareth Academy High School a welcoming home for all.

National Honor Society

Since 1950, Nazareth Academy High School has been a chartered member of the National Honor Society. As a chartered affiliate of the organization, Nazareth’s Lumen Christi Chapter operates strictly according to guidelines established by the national constitutions. The object of the National Honor Society, on both the national and local levels, is to encourage students to work for high standards of character, service, leadership, and scholarship.

Admission to the National Honor Society should not be looked upon as a reward for what a given student has done. Rather, it should be looked upon as acknowledgment of the fact that the student subscribes to National Honor Society values and acts accordingly. Thus, after induction, each National Honor Society member continues to practice the four qualities which formed the basis for her election. Failure to maintain National Honor Society standards constitute grounds for dismissal from the society.

Community Service Corp

Nazareth Academy High School’s Community Service Corp (CSC) provides students with the opportunity to live out the words expressed by His Holiness, John Paul II, “Enjoy the privilege of your youth: the right to be dynamic, creative and spontaneous, the right to be full of hope and joy, and above all, the chance to give of yourself to others in generous joyful service.”

For members of the Community Service Corp, service is a year round experience that includes:
- Collecting school supplies for area grade schools
- Gathering winter clothing and food for local shelters
- Serving holiday meals to older adults at senior centers
- Mentoring children in their schools and communities

Other major service projects include Operation Santa Claus, the Thanksgiving Food Drive, and the Bread Basketball program which raises over eight tons of canned vegetables, beverages, cereals, baby supplies, toiletries, and more for those in need.
