She is a member of Sacred Heart Parish. Evelyn is the 4th member of her family to reign as Queen Victoria. Her Aunt Chris Maier Blackwell was Victoria the 38th, her Aunt Ellen Maier Allred was Victoria the 45th, and her mother Alice was Victoria the 47th.

Senior Mary Walker Foster and Junior Ryan Roth served as this year’s Grand Duchess and Duke.
The theme of this year’s ball was The Splendor of Versailles. The Resurrection Catholic School Carnival Ball is the oldest continuing Children’s ball of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Students from PK-4 to 12th grade are invited to participate in the ball each year. Though some aspects of the ball may change from year to year, this tradition provides not only financial support for RCS, but also fond memories for RCS families to treasure in years to come.
