The Hall of Honor induction took place at Benilde-St. Margaret’s on Monday, January 27, honoring individuals that have given to BSM through time, talent, and treasure. “The Hall of Honor shows that the recognized individuals have been great contributors that have supported the BSM tradition as well as the greater good of the community,” Ms. Mary Fran O’Keefe, Director of Alumni and Community Events, said. Those that qualify to be inducted into the Hall of Honor have truly shown dedication and love for the Benilde-St. Margaret’s community.
