Our STA community gathered today for All-School Mass and one of the Academy’s most meaningful traditions, Passing of the Legacy. 💛

Following Mass, seniors welcomed freshmen and transfer students into the STA sisterhood, sharing words of encouragement and presenting each new Star with a St. Teresa of Avila medal.

Senior Class President Merit C. offered an inspiring welcome to our newest Stars, and Sisters Patty Clune and Rose McClarney made a special appearance to bless the medals.

Passing of the Legacy is a beautiful tradition that connects generations of Stars and reminds us that once you’re a Star, you’re always a Star. ⭐

And just like that, we’re back!

Our first day was full of smiles, school spirit and a few STA traditions. Seniors arrived in their customary first-day wigs, while faculty and staff gathered to welcome our newest Stars, including freshmen and transfer students, to campus.

Here’s to a great year ahead! ⭐

This morning, we celebrated the unveiling and blessing of STA’s beautiful new track! ⭐

We are deeply grateful to the generous donors who made this new track a reality. We also extend our thanks to the faculty, staff and students who supported this project and helped make today’s celebration so meaningful.

The morning included a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem by an STA student, a student-led blessing of the track and a spirited performance by the Star Girls Dance Team.

We're excited to see our Stars run, compete and make memories on their new home track!

Curious what life at STA is really like?

8th grade girls are invited to join us for a Shadow Day this fall and experience our sisterhood, engaging academics, and vibrant campus life firsthand.

Space is limited, so register early!

We began faculty and staff in-service week today with Mass, celebrating the Feast of St. Lawrence, the blessing of our new chalice, and a renewed commitment to the mission of St. Teresa's Academy. Thank you to Father Jerry Waris for celebrating Mass with us and for sharing reflections on his family's connection to STA through his nieces and great-nieces. It was a meaningful way to begin a new school year as we welcomed back our faculty and staff, including the newest members of our community. ⭐
