The Alice M. Rosa Memorial Scholarship Fund The Atonement Academy After a valiant battle with breast cancer, Mrs. Alice Rosa departed this earthly life to join Our Savior in heaven. An inspirational woman, Atonement parent, Atonement staff member, voracious Crusader sports fan, champion for the unborn, gracious, gentle woman...alice was all of this and more to her Atonement community and her family and friends. Our campus is diminished by the death of this Sister in Christ, but we are better people for having known her and loved her. It was her desire to help make an Atonement education within the reach of any boy or girl, young man or young woman, who wanted to attend the school.
