News From the Hall: February 5, 2025

Dear Saint Mary’s Hall, 

I’ve grown to appreciate the month of February in San Antonio. The seasons begin to shift earlier here than they do up north, and this earlier shift nicely matches the cadence of the school year. While we are still deeply rooted in the work of the current school year, we welcome hints of spring and set our gaze on the future.  Seniors are beginning to hear from colleges, our admissions office is bustling with curious visitors, and current families are beginning to reenroll for the coming year.  

When I was considering moving here with my family years ago, I was struck by San Antonio's entrepreneurial, pioneering, and independent spirit. Of course, Texas is known for its independent spirit, but I’ve come to especially appreciate how valuable independence is in education.  

At Saint Mary’s Hall, we are able to cultivate an environment where curiosity thrives, critical thinking is nurtured, character is forged, and every child feels a deep sense of belonging. Our commitment to educational excellence is not bound by convention but driven by a spirit of innovation, equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need to lead in an ever-changing world. 

On this beautiful campus, we are so lucky to witness the ways nature transforms the landscape, and luckier still to witness the transformation and growth that happens in our students as they are empowered to think independently, act with integrity, and aspire boldly.  

Thank you for your partnership, 

Len Miller

Head of School
