The Tradition Continues
09 Feb, 2021
Members of the St. Agnes Academy Class of 2022 received their class rings during a Mass and ceremony at St. Michael Church on February 5.
The St. Agnes Academy class ring has a very rich history and is recognized for its unique design filled with symbolism.
The black onyx triangle represents the three persons of the Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The round gold setting on which the triangle is mounted stands for our unity as a class, with God in the center as our guide.
The nine white pearls symbolize purity.
The black triangle together with the white pearls symbolizes the traditional habit of the Dominican Sisters, who founded St. Agnes in 1851.
The ring is worn with the base of the triangle pointing toward you until graduation, because we are still learning about ourselves. After graduation, it is worn with the base pointing out to the world.
Students receive their rings during their junior year. Alumnae relatives often present the class rings and pass down their rings through generations.
