Know and Be Known

On Thursday, February 26, Saint Mary’s Hall Upper School students came together for one of its hallmark traditions, Issues Day, an event designed to challenge perspectives, inspire dialogue, and deepen understanding of the world’s most pressing questions. This year’s focus: 

How will Artificial Intelligence affect the job market and education, and what measures can the government take to regulate it?  

Planned and led by the Class of 2027, Issues Day 2026 brought together an exceptional panel of experts spanning law, computer science, education, government, and industry. Moderated by Dr. K. Jill Fleuriet of The University of Texas at San Antonio, the discussion invited students to explore AI not as a distant concept, but as a force already shaping their futures. 

On Founders’ Day, Saint Mary’s Hall proudly honored two remarkable alumni whose achievements continue to inspire our community. Each year, these awards recognize graduates who make a lasting impact in their professions and beyond—raising the benchmark of excellence for future generations

Saint Mary’s Hall Juniors and Seniors had the opportunity to hear firsthand from young alumni during the College Alumni Panel, where panelists discussed everything from managing academics and making new friends to choosing the right school and thriving in new environments.
