Celebrating the SAA Class of 2025

Congratulations to the St. Agnes Academy Class of 2025! We are proud of you and inspired by you! This amazing group of 74 Stars has earned over $15 Million in scholarships for achievements in academics, arts, leadership and athletics, and they have been offered admission to 99 colleges and universities from Maine to California including Clemons, Pace, Pepperdine, Sewanee, Savannah College of Art and Design, Florida State, NYU, Syracuse, UCLA, TCU. They intend to pursue degrees in Architecture, Biology, Film and Studio Arts, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Clinical Psychology, Musical Theatre and many more.

“This is a class filled with intellectuals, athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs—young women who dream big and lift others as they climb,” said Dean Heather Valdez.

“Over the past four years, they have truly lived out the spirit of sisterhood. They’ve mentored younger students with warmth and sincerity, setting a beautiful example of what it means to lead with both confidence and compassion. Their servant leadership has been equally impactful. The Class of 2025 has not only achieved great things, but they’ve done so with generosity, joy, and a deep love for their school community. The legacy they’ve written will continue to inspire.”
