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!🌟☀️

Congratulations to the SDS Class of 2023 graduates who were recently inducted into The National

Legacy in action🌟☀️

As part of SAA’s 175th Anniversary and SAA Alumnae Week celebration, we gathered more than 150 students whose parents are proud SAA & SDS alumni — a powerful reminder that the spirit of our community continues across generations.🌟☀️

From alumni who now send their children here, to the 30 graduates who have returned as dedicated educators, the legacy of St. Agnes Academy & St. Dominic School is alive and thriving on our campus every single day.☀️🌟

175 years later, our story is still being written… and it’s more connected, faithful, and strong than ever! Click link below today!☀️🌟
