A significant 9% of the Saint Mary's Hall Class of 2025 will play sports at the collegiate level.

Saint Mary's Hall celebrated these athletes recently as they signed their Letters of Intent to play at the collegiate level. Congratulations to:

Natalia Chapa '25, who will play tennis for Haverford College
Augie Grohman '25, who will play baseball for The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
Eleanor Jones '25, who will play volleyball for Amherst College
Greer Kemmett '25, who will play soccer for Huntingdon College
Madison Winston '25, who will play field hockey for Middlebury College

Together with Sedelia Wilson-Larkin '25, who signed last fall to play basketball for the University of the Incarnate Word, these six seniors who excel in six sports represent the growing depth and breadth of the SMH Athletic Program!

Congratulations to all of these scholars and athletes, and Go Barons!

During the first weekend of April 2025, we welcomed over 300 alumni, former faculty members, and guests to campus for special celebrations of lifelong friendship and learning at Saint Mary's Hall.

Saint Mary’s Hall mourns the loss of long-time faculty member Brian Kaestner, who passed away on April 8, 2025. 
 
"Brian was a beloved and revered teacher," said Head of School Len Miller. "No one ever heard him utter a negative word. Brian was so full of life, and belief in our students and his colleagues. In his 44 years of service at Saint Mary’s Hall, he positively impacted thousands of lives, and he will be sorely missed." 

Last week, our College Counseling Office welcomed ten college admissions representatives from across the country for our annual Reverse Advisory Board (RAB). These esteemed professionals spent their time here speaking with myriad constituents to gain insight into our community and the work we do. They also led a case studies program for juniors and their parents. This exercise in reviewing applications - with a college representative - provides students and parents with invaluable insight into the world of college admissions.
