2026 Graduation Ball 💃

Congratulations to the Holy Family Academy Class of 2026 🎓

On Saturday, we celebrated a remarkable group of graduates who have spent years pursuing truth, goodness, and beauty. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and excited to see where the Lord leads them next.

Memorization builds a foundation of knowledge and fills the hearts and minds of our students so they may write, speak, and think with clarity, truth, and beauty.

After conducting a national search that drew candidates from across the country, we are delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Michael Lane as our next Head of Upper School!

For over ten years, Mr. Lane has worked in a variety of educational institutions that stretch from middle school through higher education, both public and Catholic. Originally from South Texas, he completed a double BA in History and Political Science at Baylor University. His Baylor professors nurtured Mr. Lane’s love of history and encouraged him to pursue graduate studies, which brought him to Louisiana. At LSU, his graduate studies focused on British History and Medieval Europe.

Since graduate school, Mr. Lane has taught classes in history, literature, and theology. Alongside teaching, he has enjoyed coaching and mentoring teachers to help them reach their full potential. Mr. Lane also serves as the Asst. Editor for Joie de Vivre: A Journal of Art, Culture, and Letters for South Louisiana, and he serves the Executive Board for the Catholic Men’s Conference in Baton Rouge.

Mr. Lane is excited to join Holy Family Academy where classical education and the Gospel are fully integrated in an authentic Catholic environment. He looks forward to partnering with families to deepen both the interior and intellectual lives of HFA students and faculty.

He and his wife, Jordan, have three children. They enjoy hiking, reading, gardening, and simply spending time together.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Daniel Fitzpatrick as Assistant Head of Upper School & Dean of Students for the forthcoming academic year. In addition to his administrative role, he will also be teaching English I, II, and III.

With a strong background in education, Mr. Fitzpatrick has taught English and Theology at Jesuit High School in New Orleans for several years. He holds a BA in Philosophy from the University of Dallas, as well as graduate degrees in Philosophy, Creative Writing, and John Paul II Studies from Holy Apostles College and Seminary, Trinity College Dublin, and the University of St. Thomas in Houston, respectively. Currently, he is pursuing an MA in Classical Education from the University of Dallas and serves as editor of Joie de Vivre: A Journal of Art, Culture, and Letters for South Louisiana.

Mr. Fitzpatrick is a prolific author, having written nine books, including Restoring the Lord's Day: How Reclaiming Sunday Can Revive Our Human Nature, a translation of Dante's Divine Comedy, and several volumes of fiction and poetry.

He and his wife, Grace, have four children.

“Teaching is a divine vocation, for it is God’s way of transforming hearts and minds through the gift of knowledge.” -St. John Baptist de La Salle

As we conclude National Teacher Appreciation Week, we wish to recognize the dedicated teachers who have given their hearts and talents and made a lasting commitment to Holy Family Academy and to the timeless tradition of classical education.
