Only two short weeks lie between us and the end of the most eventful school year in recent memory. While I don't know all that your family has faced and may continue to face, all the signs suggest that, as a community, The Atonement Academy has come through this trial stronger, more unified, and better prepared to meet future challenges.
Our growth as a community is well represented by our rising ninth graders, pictured below. This cohort of 18 (16 returning students and two new admissions) will enter the Academy's celebrated Upper School (

The Cardinal Newman Society) this fall as the Class of 2024. Among them are the five recipients of this year's Upper School Scholarship, which consists of $2,500 annually. This year's awardees are Carlos Alvarez, Lauren Dietert-Deschenes, Karolina Garza, Hannah John, and William Jones. Congratulations; we are excited to witness you and your class's leadership in the student body over the next four years.
Stay steady, Crusaders. Our Lady of The Atonement--pray for us!
Your servant,
Matthew David Watson
Head of School
