Country Fair 2025 was a wonderful day filled with Academy spirit! Thanks especially to our chairs, Jerri and Chester Smith, and co-chairs, Jake and Catelyn Murphy, committees, volunteers, sponsors and donors for making Country Fair such a fun and successful day!

Second and Third Class students were excited to welcome Kelley Lamm-Montgomery and Olive, her bulldog, a few weeks ago as they shared their sweet story of courage, “Oh Olive! Oh No! A Thunderstorm.” Thank you for visiting us and a special thank you to Rene Knott of KSDK Channel 5 for spending time at our school. We are happy to have a copy of the book in our library and students have been checking out to enjoy at home. Thank you for a pawsome morning!

“The Academy of the Sacred Heart truly does feel like home. The small class sizes, the love from the teachers can be felt throughout the entire school,” says Chelsea Haynes, Fox 2 News.

We are grateful to Ms. Haynes for spending time meeting students, learning about our history and discovering more about our academic program! To watch her School Spotlight segment, click here.

We are very excited to welcome Colleen Dulle back to the Academy for an evening book discussion and signing opportunity on Thursday, October 16 at 7 p.m. in Cribbin Hall Library. Her book, Struck Down, Not Destroyed: Keeping the Faith as a Vatican Reporter, can be pre-ordered from her Penguin Random House or Amazon or purchased that evening.

Kindly register here.

The Academy was thrilled to receive a $10,000 grant from Gateway To Innovation (G2I) as part of their community giveback program. Their yearly conference for technology professionals returns proceeds to the worthy causes that advance the future of technology. This year, G2I awarded $300,000 to St. Louis area organizations and we are grateful to be among the award recipients once again.

All are welcome to share a wish or favorite memory for Sister Munch by June 27, 2025 here.

Sister Margaret Munch has blessed generations of Academy students with her loving presence. She was recently fêted as this year’s Chemin de Fer Honorary Chair, surrounded by RSCJ, faculty, staff, parents, board members, alumni, parents of alumni, and friends. In June, she will move to Oakwood, the Religious of the Sacred Heart retirement center in Atherton, CA.
