Archbishop Stepinac High School

Last week, Brendan McAndrew '28 and John Marino '25 spent 10 days in Harlan, Kentucky, serving with Capuchin Family Ministries on its Appalachian Mission. Alongside them was Brother Carlos Hernandez, a proud member of Stepinac's Class of 1982.

For more than 30 years, the mission has brought volunteers together to repair homes, provide food and clothing to families, lead Vacation Bible School for local children, and support seniors and those living with chronic illnesses.

We love seeing Crusaders from different generations coming together, putting faith into action, and making a meaningful difference through service!

Congratulations to Joseph Alex '29 on being selected for Hack Club Outpost, an invite-only hardware hackathon that brings together some of the world's most ambitious teen innovators in San Francisco.

Over three days, Joseph designed and built a hardware project before showcasing it at Open Sauce 2026 alongside leading engineers, companies, and creators.

When asked about his favorite part of the program, Joseph said, "Collaborating with other students from around the world who share my passion for building."

Way to go, Joseph! We’re proud of you for embracing this opportunity and continuing to pursue your passion for technology and innovation.

Thank you to the Foróige Leadership for Life Conference for providing our students with the opportunity to learn, grow, and strengthen their leadership skills. We appreciate the experiences, connections, and perspectives they gained throughout the week. Safe travels home, Crusaders!

Global Scholars Program student Quinn Smith '27 has been making the most of his summer by embracing new opportunities to learn and lead.

Quinn (first photo, fourth from left) completed Fordham University's Summer Leaders Academy: Business Communication in Leadership Course and participated in NY American Legion Boys State, where he joined students from across the state in a week-long leadership and citizenship program. Through hands-on experiences in government, teamwork, and leadership, Quinn strengthened the skills he'll carry with him well beyond the classroom.

We're proud to see Quinn representing Stepinac and continuing to grow as a leader. Way to go, Quinn!

Our Crusaders are in Ireland this week participating in the Foróige Leadership for Life Programme at Maynooth University!

Alongside young leaders from around the world, they're taking part in hands-on workshops, meaningful discussions, and community-focused learning designed to build confidence, strengthen leadership skills, and inspire positive change.

We're proud to see our Crusaders embracing every opportunity to grow as leaders, represent the Stepinac community, and return home ready to make a difference.

Another memorable day at the Saratoga Race Course!

Our annual Stepinac Alumni Reception brought together Crusaders from across the years for an afternoon of reconnecting, reminiscing, and celebrating the friendships and shared experiences that continue long after graduation.

Thank you to all of our alumni and friends who joined us—we're already looking forward to next year!

That's a wrap on another amazing week—and the final week of our baseball, STEAM, and theater camps! Our baseball campers sharpened their skills through hitting, fielding, and throwing drills, our STEAM campers built algae bioreactors and solar ovens, and our theater campers wowed audiences with Seussical JR.

Thank you to our campers, families, coaches, counselors, and staff for an incredible summer so far. Up next: two more weeks of our sold-out Basketball Camp!

Bravo to the cast of Seussical JR.!

It has been a joy getting to know our talented theater campers over the past month and watching their hard work, creativity, and confidence shine on stage.

Congratulations to our campers, directors, stage crew and staff on an outstanding performance!
