Why the Academy?

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.

This summer, two recent alums, Jasmine Magdaleno ’25 and Charlotte Kinney ’25, journeyed to Japan to dedicate time for summer service at the International School of the Sacred Heart, an English-speaking all girls school for grades 1-12 in Tokyo. The school is one of 150+ Sacred Heart schools in 41 countries.

On Friday, May 23, 2025, the Academy came together with family of the Class of 2025 to celebrate their achievements at Eighth Class Prize Day. Congratulations to all who were recognized for their contributions and achievements! 

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.
