Join us in congratulating Luke! From the classroom to the pool, he truly embodied the Cadet spirit during his time at STA.

Next Stop: Duke University 🔵😈

His advice to future Cadets is simple but powerful: fully buy into the community and invest in the people around you.

Leadership in action. 💼➡️⚽

Several of our Cadets officially completed their year in Leader Academy (a massive thank you to Eagan Chick-fil-A for sponsoring!). They didn’t just learn about leadership this year—they lived it.

To wrap up the program, they organized a fundraiser and equipment drive to support the students at John Paul II Catholic School. Way to lead by example, Cadets! 🙌
