Please join me in congratulating our 8th Grade graduates as we send them off from our Academy full of faith and hope in the future paths they will walk: confident in the knowledge they will take with them, and in the faith that has been instilled in them. They have weathered a very strange and difficult last 15 months here at St. Gregory the Great Academy, along with the rest of our school family, and have done so with good humor, grace, and determination. Words are not adequate in expressing my admiration and respect for the way Dr. Briggs and Mrs. Rivera, the teachers, aides, and staff, and our students have persevered through this time of pandemic. They have earned the upcoming summer break and we hope that next year continues our trend towards normalcy. Our Academy is, in many ways, the strongest it has been in years, and that is because of the dedication of everyone associated with it. We thank God for helping us throughout this year with relative safety and good health.
