On Monday, September 15, 2025, San Antonio Academy welcomed back alumnus Cale Hatter, class of 2022, as the Alumni Monday speaker. During his presentation, he spoke to the boys about the impact of his Academy experience. Now a senior at Alamo Heights High School and former battalion commander of his class, Cale reflected on how The Academy’s core values of responsibility, integrity, leadership, and brotherhood shaped him into the person he is today.

Through stories filled with humor and nostalgia, Cale reminded students of the lasting friendships and memories that define The Academy experience. He shared poignant stories from the 8th-grade trip to Enchanted Rock, Cowboy Breakfast, and playing on the football team. He highlighted how the brotherhood built here extends far beyond graduation, noting that many of his closest friends and teammates from The Academy remain by his side in high school athletics and daily life.

Closing his talk, Cale encouraged the boys to embrace every moment, lean into the school’s values, and cherish the bonds of brotherhood that will stay with them long after their Academy years.
