Today, our seniors returned from their senior retreat.
Over two days at Prairie Star Ranch, students reflected on three big questions:
Where are you now?
Where have you been?
Where are you going?
Through Mass, witness talks, small groups, games, Adoration, and personal reflection, our seniors had the opportunity to pause, look back on their high school journey, and look ahead with courage and faith.
We are proud of our Class of 2026 and pray for them as they lead our community this year and prepare for life beyond SMA!

One of the unique blessings of SMA is that daily Mass is offered on campus, giving our students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to begin each day grounded in prayer and the Eucharist. We strive to lean on faith in all we do, and love that our community is centered on Christ.
