On a meaningful return visit to campus, SAA alumnus Will Seamans, Class of 2010, gave a heartfelt Alumni Monday presentation, reflecting on his time at The Academy and how it shaped his life beyond graduation.

Speaking with warmth and humor, Will recounted his five years at The Academy, highlighting his roles as B Company’s first platoon leader, a multi-sport athlete, and a guitar student under former computer teacher Mr. Alan Gielen. He fondly recalled being part of SAA's first football team in years and forging meaningful relationships with teachers that extended beyond the classroom.

After graduating from SAA, Will attended Saint Mary's Hall and later graduated with honors from Texas A&M and became a Certified Public Accountant. His career journey included corporate auditing, followed by four impactful years with a nonprofit that provided food and education to children in Haiti. Will currently works as a consultant with one of the world’s largest firms.

He also shared personal milestones, including his marriage to his wife and the joys of life with his dog, Rex. Reflecting on his class photo and a beloved teacher, Mr. Barry Bradley, Will emphasized that The Academy’s true strength lies in the relationships formed here.

He concluded with a powerful message: “It may be really hard to see from the seats you’re in now, but every decision you make and the effort you put in today shapes the future you’ll be walking in tomorrow.” He urged the boys to invest in their community, reminding them that The Academy’s influence extends far beyond the classroom.
