David Robinson Jr., Class of 2007, joined us as the Alumni Monday speaker on March 25, 2024. He shared his many memories during his years at The Academy and how recognizing and acting on great opportunities has helped him along in his life journey so far.

David attended Pre-K through 8th grade here at SAA before attending and graduating from San Antonio Christian for high school. After high school, he attended The University of Texas at Austin and studied communications. After moving to New York City and working in technology and finance for a while, he started to miss home, returning to San Antonio soon after. He received his master's degree in urban and regional planning from UTSA. Now, he and a fellow Academy brother, Reeves Craig '97, are working for Weston Urban, a development firm focused on building and growing downtown San Antonio. 

After speaking about his journey and where life has brought him, David shifted back to how all this transpired, starting with the opportunity to attend The Academy. "Being at The Academy is one of the greatest opportunities you could get," said David as he spoke about wishing he could have taken the time to appreciate it more while he was here. 

He concluded by encouraging the boys to make the most out of opportunities given to them, such as being able to attend a unique school like SAA.
