Sister Hélène Richa, the director of the College, emphasized in her speech that the tower built was above all a moral tower. It embodies the pride and reputation of a school that has sustained its conscientiousness and consistency over the decades. Thanks to the indubitable dedication of all the teams concerned, we are constantly welded towards one purpose: that of fortifying the roots and extending the wings, a work eloquently illustrated by the construction of the tower itself.
