A night to remember—and one for the record books!☀️🌟

More than 350 guests came home to campus for our 33rd Annual Gala & Auction, making it an especially meaningful celebration as we honored 175 years of St. Agnes Academy. From cocktails and incredible cuisine to a lively silent + live auction and two unforgettable entertainment experiences, the evening was filled with joy, connection, and SAA-SDS spirit.🌟☀️

One of the most special parts of the evening was seeing so many SAA-SDS alumni come home to celebrate together—reconnecting with classmates, reminiscing about cherished memories, and continuing the sisterhood and brotherhood that makes St. Agnes-St. Dominic so special!☀️🌟

Because of this amazing community, we raised over $245,000 in gross revenue—a powerful testament to the love and support behind our mission.☀️🌟

A heartfelt thank you to our presenting sponsor, The Lott Team, and to every donor, bidder, and guest who made the night so impactful. From once-in-a-lifetime experiences (hello Destin, Montana, New Orleans, & a UT Football experience) to the excitement of two puppies from Bluff City Kennels and the always-popular “First President for the Day” with Dr. Shannon Gomez, the energy in the room was unmatched. And seeing our community rally around this year’s Fund the Need—enhancements to the Hook Theatre—was truly inspiring.🌟☀️

Here’s to continuing the legacy!
Save the date: Friday, April 16, 2027—we’ll see you at Shelby Farms!🌟☀️

We loved welcoming back SAA alumna Lauren Frick, ‘15 to campus to speak with our students about her journey into business management and the music industry! 🎶 From her time at St. Agnes Academy to graduating from Belmont University and now working with artists on Music Row, Lauren shared invaluable insight, encouragement, and real-world advice with our girls.🌟

“My 15 years at St. Agnes provided me with very strong foundations to build on as I transitioned to college, especially in technology and English. Belmont was an obvious choice for me not only because of my desired major, but I also found myself drawn to the smaller class sizes and its foundation in faith; both things I learned to value from SAA.”

Even more special—she’s offered to continue supporting our students beyond the classroom, helping them explore internships and opportunities in the music industry. 💫

👉 Swipe to see a full-circle moment as Lauren reunited with one of her SAA favorites, PK teacher Mrs. Kathi Davidson! 💙We are so grateful for alumnae who pour back into our community and inspire the next generation of SAA women! 💙

A huge congratulations to two of our own! We are so proud of St. Agnes Academy alumnae Samantha Smith Atkinson, ’04 and Katie Hunt, ’05, honored by the Memphis Business Journal as Top 40 Under 40 honorees. It’s inspiring to see the incredible impact you’re making across the Memphis community!🌟
