2025 Commencement Speaker

I wanted to let our community know that Archbishop Bernard Hebda will be offering our Commencement address at this year’s Graduation ceremony. The Archbishop has a deep commitment to Catholic education as well as a profound appreciation for our school’s approach to a Liberal Arts, Classical, Catholic education. In fact, he once told me, “Saint Agnes School is the Gold Standard of Catholic education in this Archdiocese.” I told him that I would quote him on that, and he said that I could! Please join me in welcoming the Archbishop to our school for Commencement 2025!
