Super job, Dana!

WEST POINT! Here comes ZACH H———- - Zach was just accepted to the West Point Summer Program. Great job making it through the rigorous application process. Enjoy the push-ups, Sir!

And, speaking of H———–, I received an e-mail from Ciriana and her husband, Juan. I thought I would share a few quotes:

“(We) currently live in North Carolina,… have found a beautiful home in Angier, and we are currently expecting our first child. We both wish that there was the equivalent of a Saint Augustine Academy near Raleigh for our daughter-to-be, but we have to settle for what we do have. Whenever we receive a notice from the school about sponsoring someone for an event, Ciriana and I jump at the chance to give back to her old school. We recently were thinking of donating something to the academy that would help with improving the students’ experience. Short of a monetary donation, we couldn’t think of anything, until I realized we could donate my time as a web designer. God bless you and your wonderful Academy.”

Thanks Orozcos! We look forward to the new website this summer!

Alumna Earns Distinguished Spot - one of only nine students accepted to Notre Dame Graduate School of Architecture, and, they noted, “the first classically educated woman to be accepted into the program.”. Congratulations to Stephanie B—–!
