After 27 years of coaching and mentoring Academy boys, Mike Heineman has announced his retirement as Athletic Director and Head Coach at the end of this school year. Although Coach Heineman will no longer be coaching after his retirement, he wants us to know that ‘this is not a goodbye.’ He plans to stay connected with the school and will be involved in the nation-wide search that will take place for his successor.
We are pleased to announce that Paul Quick has been appointed by the Board of Trustees to act as Interim Head of School for the 2021-22 school year.

San Antonio Academy’s music specialist Dr. Owen Duggan’s 2005 debut album, An Elephant Never Forgets, received numerous awards and accolades from national parenting organizations to songwriter’s associations. Applauded for his positive messages and wide appeal, Owen’s songs have brought joy to many, but in his latest album, Honey on My Mind, Owen pays tribute to another songwriter, Doug McNeel (SAA Class of 1966), whose sudden passing last year left a sizable catalog of songs.
