Pauline continued to serve as Liaison between the school and the association until her recent retirement in December 2023. She continues to serve on the Alumni Association Board of Directors. Even before joining the St. Joe’s staff, Pauline was an ardent supporter of St. Joe’s while her children attended high school there. Pauline went beyond the duties of her job and became an ambassador for St. Joe’s thru the years. She was actively involved in various groups related to St. Joe’s, such as the parents organization, Spirit Committee, and Friends of the Performing Arts. You could find her at all of the school activities, sporting events, and fund raisers. Her mantra was to support the students and St. Joe’s in any way she could.
