🎓💙 Congratulations to the Class of 2038! 💙🎓

Yesterday, we celebrated our Early Childhood graduates as they marked their very first St. Michael’s Prep milestone! With big smiles, proud families, and hearts full of excitement, the Class of 2038 officially completed their Early Childhood journey.

We are so proud of all they have learned, the friendships they have formed, and the joy they bring to our community. The future is bright for these young Warriors! ✨

Here’s to sunshine, rest, adventure, and a well-earned break! Have an amazing summer, Warriors! 🌴 We love you!

🍞 Bread of Life Mass ✝️

This morning, we joyfully celebrated our 2nd graders at the Bread of Life Mass, honoring those who recently received their First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.

With grateful hearts, we recognize this important step in their faith journey as they encounter Christ in the Eucharist and experience His mercy in a special way.

We are so proud of our young Warriors and the beautiful example of faith they share with our community! 💙

🎓💙 Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 💙🎓

The St. Michael’s Prep community is so proud of all that the Class of 2026 has accomplished. From earning over $18.3 million in merit aid to completing an incredible 14,891 hours of community service, their dedication, generosity, and hard work have left a lasting impact.

It has been an honor to celebrate this class at their Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation Ceremony this weekend. As they head off to new adventures at institutions such as Stanford, Caltech, Wake Forest, UCLA, TCU, SMU, UC San Diego, Tufts, Texas A&M, and over a dozen students attending The University of Texas, they carry with them the values, friendships, and faith that have shaped their SMP journey.

Congratulations to our newest alumni, the Class of 2026!! The St. Michael’s Prep community looks forward to seeing the difference they will make in the world. Once a Warrior, always a Warrior! ✨

🎓💙 8th Grade Commencement 💙🎓

Today, we celebrated our 8th graders as they reached an important milestone in their journey at St. Michael’s Prep. This special moment marks both an ending and a beginning - honoring their growth while looking ahead to the exciting path of Upper School.

We are proud to recognize all that these outstanding students have accomplished and the leaders they are becoming.

Congratulations, 8th graders—we are so proud of you and look forward to all that’s ahead! ✨

🎓✨ US Career Speaker Series ✨🎓

This spring, our Upper School students connected with an incredible group of professionals (including SMP moms and an alum) across industries, gaining insight into careers in medicine, pharma and biotech, AI, marketing, and global technology leadership.

Our illustrious speakers included:

💼 Carrie Palin, SVP and CMO of Cisco, who leads global marketing and brand strategy and has been named to Forbes’ World’s Most Influential CMOs list in 2023 and 2024.

🌎 Pilar Schenk, VP of Global Sales, a dynamic tech executive and leader in global sales transformation who has led major mergers across public, private, and private equity–owned companies.

🤖 Anjou Kay, Head of AI at Google Cloud North America, who leads strategy and adoption of advanced AI solutions to help companies innovate and grow—and somehow finds time to be an entrepreneur and philanthropist.

🌽 Lauren Yurko ’04 Sammons, Software Engineering Manager at H-E-B, who shared her expertise and experience in web and software engineering across a wide range of diverse business environments.

💊 Allison Trucillo, M.D., who shared her career journey from medical school to practicing medicine to finding her niche as a biotech leader involved in every stage of drug development.

Through their stories and advice, these leaders inspired students to explore new possibilities, embrace challenges, and envision bold futures.

Some key takeaways included:

1. Careers are rarely linear—they zigzag.
2. Pursue what genuinely interests you, and your path will unfold.
3. Stay connected—your network is your net worth.
4. Many of the jobs our students will have in 20 years don’t even exist yet.
5. Be sure and develop your soft skills- communication, teamwork, adaptability, emotional intelligence, time management, etc. AI will never be able to replace those.

Thank you to each of you for sharing your journeys, answering our students’ questions, and empowering the next generation of innovators! 💙🚀

🎶✨ Extraordinary Achievement! ✨🎶

A huge congratulations to SMP sophomore Kiran S., who premiered his original choral work, “The Joy of Giving,” at Carnegie Hall on May 2 alongside his fellow members of the National Children’s Chorus!

Kiran has been composing music since the age of 9, and this piece was inspired by his volunteer work in Uganda and Kenya - making this accomplishment even more meaningful.

Don’t miss the Austin premiere on Sunday, May 17 at 4:00 PM during the NCC Spring Showcase. Ticket link in the first comment.

We are so proud of you, Kiran! 💙🎼

This morning, we gathered as a community to celebrate our 8th graders at their Commencement Mass. Students were recognized with Academic and Service Awards, honoring their hard work, perseverance, dedication, and commitment to serving others.
