Last night’s Pink Out Volleyball Game was about more than just competition—it was about faith, family, and hope.

We were honored to welcome Becky Kazmaier, a 2000 graduate of O’Hara and a dedicated athlete who played both volleyball and basketball during her high school years. Becky is courageously battling breast cancer, and our Guardian community came together in an incredible way to support her and her family.

Through “Comfy for a Cause” dress-down day donations, game proceeds, and gifts from our generous families, we surprised Becky with a check to help with her fight. Her strength and story deeply inspired everyone in the gym, reminding us what it means to live with courage and faith. Players also honored their loved ones who are battling breast cancer by sharing who they "dig" for.

Thank you to our volleyball program, our families, and our fans for making this night so meaningful. Becky, know that your Guardian family is lifting you and your loved ones in prayer.

Biology got hands-on today in Sr. Stephen Patrick’s class! Students took part in a “wound lab,” using paint and Vaseline to create realistic-looking injuries. After showing off their creativity, the class voted on the most lifelike wound and the best backstory to explain it. A fun (and slightly gruesome) way to bring science to life!

Today, our SMA community came together in celebration of the Feast of the Archangels with an all-school Mass. We give thanks for the example of St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, who inspire us to live courageously and faithfully as followers of Christ. May their intercession continue to guide our school and our students each day.

Join us in praying the St. Michael prayer as we ask for defense against the forces of evil and celebrate the patron of our school!

It was an outstanding week for SMA Athletics, filled with school records and big wins.

Softball continues to shine, tying the school record of 11 wins in a single season—with 10 games still remaining on the schedule. This team is making history and is not finished yet.

Our Girls Golf team had a tremendous showing at the William Chrisman Invitational, earning a 1st place team finish. Their hard work and consistency paid off in a big way.

On the football field, Max Thomas delivered a moment to remember, setting a new school record with a 50-yard field goal. A remarkable achievement that capped off a great team win against Pembroke Hill.

Congratulations to all of our athletes on their accomplishments!

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!
