Congratulations, SAA Class of 2024!
While it is bittersweet to see our Class of 2024 prepare to graduate, it is our hope that they remain in touch with us at The Academy as they continue their education. Our 8th grade Cadets have had a very busy spring, including the 8th grade class trip to North Carolina, the Shakespeare Play, Military Ball, Alamo Honor Guard, Alumni/8th Grade Luncheon, 8th Grade Championship Debate, and of course, Commencement with a luncheon to follow at Estancia del Norte. What an accomplishment these boys have achieved!
