After a spectacular Chemin de Fer, we are filled with deep appreciation for the incredible generosity of the Academy community. This week, Mr. Tim Horner, Head of School, reflects with gratitude as we enter the last month of school.
Last Saturday was a beautiful culmination of what makes our school so extraordinary. After months of preparation, and thanks to the dedication of incredible volunteers, we celebrated a truly remarkable Chemin de Fer, The Secret Garden.
Our community gave generously — of their time, talent, and treasure. These moments of coming together as an Academy family strengthen our shared belief in the mission of this school, in our students and faculty, and in the lasting impact of a Sacred Heart education
It feels especially fitting that Chemin is held in May, the same month we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Each day, our faculty give of themselves to ensure the best support and opportunity for every Academy student. Chemin is a moment when the community shows how deeply they value and appreciate our exceptional educators. The success of this year’s Fund the Need — to provide updated faculty/staff devices and new academic materials — further affirmed this support.
At Chemin in 2025, it was said that gratitude is a divine emotion. On behalf of each Academy student and faculty, current and future, thank you for your support of this extraordinary school.
