Ubel Activity Center Dedication 10th Anniversary & Aggie Give Day


This morning, in the auditorium that bears her name, we recognized and thanked Helene Houle, as this week marks the 10th Anniversary of the dedication of the Ubel Activity Center.


It is because of the gift of John Nasseff and Helene Houle (along with the sacrifice, work, and generosity of so many others!) a decade ago that our students have been able to continue to make many new and lasting memories in the classroom, on the stage, and on the court in this magnificent facility.



With Aggie Give Day on Wednesday, we invite you to consider how you might support the mission of Saint Agnes School as so many generous benefactors have before. Early giving has begun--visit the link below to make your mark today.

Congratulations to the Cast & Crew of Our Town!


Our Town completed its successful run this weekend, marking the first non-musical, full-length play to be presented on the Saint Agnes stage since 1987. Way to go, Aggies!

Congratulations to our Huskies Swim & Dive Team Section competitors for a tremendous meet this past weekend! Amaya Perez, Bella Perez, Kate Riles, and Ferris Martin represented the Aggies and swam lifetime best swims! Kate Riles qualified for Section Finals in the 50 Freestyle, having the 6th best overall time, and was a part of both the 200 and 400 freestyle relays, placing 5th and 4th.


Ferris Martin was also a top member of 2 of our relays, the 200 Medley as the backstroke leg, helping the Huskies place 4th and also the 400 freestyle relay. Ferris also placed 4th in the 100 freestyle with a state qualifying time. She was then the 100 backstroke Section Champion, with a new school record of 57.98!
