Grandparents Day 2024
Posted November 22, 2024
We were thrilled to welcome everyone to Grandparents & Grandfriends Day at The Academy on Friday, November 22, 2024! Grandparents and grandfriends bring such warmth and wisdom to our community, and it was a privilege to celebrate them with a day dedicated to strengthening the bonds within our SAA family.
We had a special convocation, with a performance from the 2nd-grade boys and remarks from current SAA grandparents Christine and Joe Haynes. We also had a special presentation on the Four Pillars of an Academy Boy from 5th-8th grade students Charlie H., Liam C., Edward G., and William B.
Following the convocation, grandparents were treated to a parade in their honor with Christine Haynes serving as the reviewing officer.
Our boys loved sharing their campus life with their loved ones, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for being a part of this special day!

San Antonio Academy’s Class of 2021 returned to campus for a reunion marked by reflection and reconnection as they prepare to graduate from high school and begin their college journeys. This fall, these alumni will attend a wide range of universities across the country, including MIT, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Tulane, UT Austin, Texas A&M, SMU, Wake Forest, and more. We’re proud of all they’ve accomplished and wish them the very best as they take this next step.

Two teams of 8th grade students took the Ellison Hall stage on Wednesday, May 14, for SAA's Annual 8th Grade Championship Debate. This year’s topic — Is the Global Warming Crisis Exaggerated? — challenged participants to present well-researched arguments and demonstrate their public speaking skills before an audience of faculty, classmates, and families.

As the Class of 2025 prepares to walk through the Bondurant Gate next week, officially closing their chapter as Academy cadets, we hope they’ll remain connected in the years to come. Their spring has been filled with meaningful traditions—from the class trip to the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon to the Shakespeare Play, Military Ball, Alamo Honor Guard, Alumni Luncheon, Championship Debate, and Commencement. It’s been a memorable culmination of their time at The Academy.
