We have been a part of the SJS/Saints Academy family for 20 years with one more to go. Three of our kids have graduated and the last will graduate in 2023. Our kids have been prepared the best way possible at SJS/Saints: academically, spiritually, athletically, artistically, emotionally and socially. The foundation they each received has set them up for success in high school, college and beyond. The eldest has graduated from college with a dual Business/Spanish degree and owns his own company. Our daughter is half way through college, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Our son graduated from high school and is attending college this year to study Interior Design. The youngest has just started her second year of middle school at SA where she has absolutely flourished. She is a member of the Student Council, the cross country and basketball teams, as well as the ski club. SJS/Saints Academy is the best decision we made and the best money we ever spent. ~Tom & Joan O’Hare 

"I can't say enough good things about Saints Academy. My husband and I always say it was the best decision we ever made. For us it meant so much to know that our children are learning respect, kindness, and empathy in addition to their conventional academics. The community of teachers, staff, families, and students is wonderful and supportive. We are so lucky to have this opportunity in our community".  ~ Jennifer Fluckiger P '

"My three kids attended (formerly St John) pre-k through 8th grade. I can say % that the spiritual, emotional and educational foundation that was provided to my children was hands down an exceptional foundation for high school and beyond success. My children are now grown and I am proud of the man and women they have become".  ~Annie Townsend P '10, '12, '14 

In the weeks leading up to middle school graduation, Aidan would often (and seemingly spontaneously but with deep reflection) tell a story of something that occurred months or even years prior. The topics ranged greatly - from funny cafeteria situations with fellow students to more serious topics like the English teacher who challenged him to think deeper in his writings, the science teacher who taught him that assumptions can be proven wrong, and the basketball coach who instilled the notion that losing a game while giving it your all is not failing, rather a lesson in civility and self-awareness. Four years later, as he now prepares to graduate high school, he has come to realize that these are more than just great stories, they shaped who he has become. The Saints Academy prepared Aidan for high school in so many ways – perhaps most significantly with instilling self-confidence and developing a high regard for community. Combined, these have guided his high school experience.
Starting freshman year, he became very involved in school activities and athletics, leading to roles in peer leadership, a multi-sport captain, and working with Bishop Fenwick to launch a YouTube channel to stream winter sports while covid restrictions prevented families from attending in person. He also became actively involved in many social and community service groups, including Best Buddies, Campus Ministry and a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. 

While we’ve admired how successful Aidan’s high school years have been, what doesn’t come as a surprise is that alongside him through all these experiences were classmates from The Saints Academy.  This fall, Aidan will be attending Xavier University, a Jesuit university in Cincinnati, Ohio. He will major in Marketing/Sports Management.
