Miriam Kroeger graduated from SMOT School in 1954. She attended Mother of Mercy High School for one year and then joined The Sisters of Notre Dame and became Sr. Mary Reinette. She then went onto to further her own Catholic Education at Notre Dame Academy, Thomas More College, and Xavier University.

SMOT School was fortunate to welcome her back as our Principal for twelve years from 1986 through 1998. Sr. Reinette was chosen as our inaugural “Distinguished Graduate” for our Centennial Year. She was honored and thanked at our Catholic Schools Week Liturgy for sharing her love of learning and her love of faith with so many here at her alma mater, St. Martin of Tours. Congratulations to our first Distinguished Graduate Award Recipient!
