At the event, the staff also recognized and celebrated the retirements of Mrs. Patricia Conaton P’88, ’98 and Mrs. Beth DiCiancia Garrigan’76 P’06.

Ms. Ellen Donoghue’76, guidance counselor and long-time friend and colleague of Beth, shared her memories of their friendship and complimented her as genuine, authentic, and sincere. “Beth DiCiancia Garrigan is the real deal,” Ellen said. “Thank you for your dedication and service to IHA, enjoy retirement, and I wish you well. It has been my honor to be your colleague and my privilege to be your friend.”

Although we recognized her remarkable dedication to IHA for almost thirty years, unfortunately, Pat Conaton could not attend the Christmas Party. IHA faculty and staff members were thrilled to celebrate the Christmas season and the end of 2022 together!
