Happy New Year! It is good to be back. This morning, at our weekly 7:15 a.m. check-in, teachers and staff were remarking on the positive start we’ve had this week. I hope this is an indication that you and your children had just the Christmas Break you needed.
Many thanks to all of you who attended the “State of the School Address” last night. I appreciate your dedication to our school. Of the several themes discussed, I think I may have most enjoyed reminding our community of the many accolades and awards—National Blue Ribbon School, eCatholic Best Catholic School Website for 2019, #1 Best Catholic High School in San Antonio 2020, Cardinal Newman Society Honor Roll, 25th Anniversary, etc—that are the lenses through which The Atonement Academy is viewed from the outside. Though it is easy to take these things for granted and to become preoccupied with the challenges we face, the fact remains that we have all found our way to a truly extraordinary school. God has been faithful.
“[L]et us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9).
