Leading Ladies: 2004 - 2016
The concept of "leading ladies" and the Leading Ladies Gala was initiated in 2004 in an effort to provide an opportunity for Oakland Catholic High School to engage women in the Pittsburgh region at a community gathering. The Leading Ladies event annually recognized a panel of distinguished women who served as role models for the young women at Oakland Catholic by their exceptional example of what our young women can aspire to accomplish as they move forward in life. These dynamic "leading ladies" number over 220 honorees since the event was initiated in 2004.
