A Message from the Principal
Dear Academy Families and Friends,
As we reach this point in the year, it's a great time to pause and reflect on how much we have accomplished this year through all of the effort and hard work from the students, staff and families. This truly is an amazing school and we are grateful to be part of such a dedicated and caring community. I was truly touched by all of the support with the Food Drive and all of our community service projects we are doing this holiday season.
From our homes to yours, we wish you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving Break.
Mr. Patrick J. Higgins
Principal
