Campus Life

Every year, seniors return to campus one last time as student Stars to celebrate together and take part in the Class Day closing ceremony. In a few short days, the Class of 2023 will call themselves STA alumnae.

The STA campus community gathered on April 27, 2023, to honor student achievements and name this year’s Academy Woman.

In the wake of rising local and national incidents of gun violence, students at St. Teresa’s Academy arranged an event to rally for change. At students’ request, we are sharing their story with the STA community. 

Margaret Huff (’97) and Katie Swetala (’99) were grateful for the experiences at STA and wanted to give back in a unique way – one that would allow them to interact with students and make a direct impact.

STA’s talented students earn numerous honors for their contributions to theater.

This week, STA students, administration and faculty had an opportunity to attend the 2023 Starr Women’s Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Among this year’s inductees was Margaret J. May, who is a familiar face to many – as well as the aunt of STA President Dr. Siabhan May-Washington.

STA is pleased to announce this year’s keynote speaker, Becky Blades. She describes herself as “writer, artist, strategist, stARTist,” and recently authored a book titled Start More Than You Can Finish. In this thought-provoking book, Blades draws on hundreds of interviews with stARTists, as well as research in neuroscience, creativity and behavioral science to arrive at a fresh take on starting and finishing.

At a ceremony held March 9, 2023, in Goppert Gymnasium, the STA community honored the student and community recipients of the Mother Evelyn O’Neill Award. This award recognizes excellence in leadership, community service or educational reform.

To kick off the Lenten season, STA students, faculty and staff took part in an all-school Ash Wednesday Mass today, with Father Don Farnan presiding.
