OUR MISSION

Rooted in the Dominican tradition, St.

Agnes Academy provides a Catholic college
preparatory education that encourages
young women to develop intellectual
curiosity, to work for social justice and to
act with integrity and compassion.

THE DOMINICAN BLESSING

May the Creator bless us, may the Redeemer heal

us, may the Holy Spirit enlighten us
And give us eyes to see, ears to hear and hands
to do the work of God;
Feet to walk the path of justice and mouths to
preach the Good News.
May the angel of peace watch over us and lead
us, at last, to the Reign of God.
Amen.

A very important word

around St. Agnes is
VERITAS, the Dominican
motto meaning truth,
which permeates the
educational endeavors at
St. Agnes. It is the name
of the yearbook and it is
found on the senior rings.

Equally familiar is the VERITAS

shield, which is a compendium
of St. Dominic's life and ideals:
the vision of the dog with the
burning brand which his mother
saw before his birth; the star
which emblazoned his forehead
(symbol of heavenly wisdom);
the lilies of purity and the palm
of victory; the swords of justice
and of truth; the Rosary, and
the crown surmounting all, with
the eight stars representing the
beatitudes.

The St. Agnes Academy

mascot logo was
developed by a group of
students, faculty, staff and
alumnae in 2007 to
celebrate the Tiger spirit
in athletics, student
organizations and campus
life.

Something Ive learned here is that theres no limit. St. Agnes has pushed
me past what I thought I could do. It was unreal. In some ways, I think it
shows you that were limitless. You can never just contain yourself. You can
always be better and push harder. - Student
