I have been on the English Department faculty of Mother Seton for a decade--and at colleges and universities in the past.
For fifty years--Mother Seton is celebrating its Golden Anniversary this year--this school has nurtured and inspired young girls to “academic excellence and Seton spirit,” its slogan. The emphasis is on each girl achieving her personal best in classes while she has an extraordinary range of activities, events, sports, and service projects in which to participate or, if she wishes, to lead. Faculty and administration are dedicated, and the entire community is close. Because enrollment is all female, the girls seem to focus on their own achievements, friends, and fun to a greater degree.
Successful results are shown in college admissions (100% of the class has gone to college for several years); college scholarships and aid; successful careers and lives after college; and alumnae who speak warmly of high school memories and send their own children to Mother Seton. This is faith-based education at its demonstrated best.
Mother Seton Regional High School provides an excellent education to the young women of Union, Southern Essex and Middlesex counties. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, I am proud to say that I have been on the faculty for a total of 17 years - from 1979-1988 as a member of the Social Studies Department and from 2004 until the present as the Director of Campus Ministry. The young women I had and have the privilege of serving are not only intelligent, articulate leaders, but are very concerned about others and consistently share their time, talents and resources to help improve the quality of life for people who are in need of assistance. They receive encouragement and support from parents and guardians who want their daughters to achieve to be the best persons they can be and to be able to take their place in a significant way in our society.

Review from Guidestar
Throughout the past 50 years Mother Seton Regional High School has contributed greatly to the surrounding communities in which she serves. This all-girl Catholic educational secondary school provides not only the aforementioned communities but her own students with a dynamic and engaging atmosphere of charity and service. It is a pleasure to see her success continue to grow and enrich the lives of all she encounters. The township of Clark should recognize her achievements with an honorary day of celebration!
