The gifts she received from Catholic education enriched her life.

Now, she’s returning the favor.

Ask Jane Arnold about her Catholic faith and she’ll tell you that it is the “greatest treasure of her life”—a treasure that was nourished and enriched by her Catholic education. Ask her colleagues at Bishop McDevitt Catholic High School or any one of her 12 children and they’ll tell you about the humble, kind, and generous nature of this 2010 Distinguished Graduate.

Mrs. Arnold’s commitment to Catholic education goes far beyond her own schooling at New York’s St. Fidelis Parish School and Dominican Commercial High School. Having had her own life so deeply enriched by Catholic education, Mrs. Arnold saw to it that all 12 of her children attended Bishop McDevitt High School. And, as a testament to the value of a Catholic education, nine of her children went on to attain graduate degrees. Today, Mrs. Arnold continues to give back to Catholic education by working in the Institutional Advancement office at McDevitt where she helps publicize and promote the school.
