ACADEMY EXPANSION PLANS
The Atonement Academy is a remarkable school.  It has achieved National Blue Ribbon status, and our Upper School was selected as one of the fifty best high schools in the nation.  We offer fourteen years of Catholic education, from Pre-Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade.  Our graduates have entered some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the country.  The education we offer is Catholic and Classical, with the daily Mass serving as the foundation of each school day.  We have already expanded the school once, and the time has come for another expansion.  We have a pressing need for more classrooms, science labs, music facilities and athletic facilities.  A new theater will provide opportunities to expand into new areas in the performing arts.  Our present gymnasium cannot accommodate all the athletic events we sponsor.  As our student body continues to grow, we need more space for teachers and administrators.  Our present facility, large as it is, is bursting at the seams.  Below you can see the plans for the proposed expansion.  Have a close look, and consider making a sacrificial contribution towards its completion.  There is no better investment than Catholic education.  We take seriously the task of forming young Catholics in their faith, and we link that to an outstanding academic program.  Our students are well-prepared for taking their place in the Church and society as outstanding and faithful leaders.

We had an extraordinary visit from Dr. Gerre Hancock and Dr. Judith Hancock, both acknowledged leaders in the field of sacred music, after some thirty years spent at St. Thomas, 5th Avenue, and now at UT Austin.  They worked with our students for several days, to prepare for the celebration of Solemn Evensong and Benediction. While they were here, a Spring Concert was presented by the students in third, fourth and fifth grades.  A highlight of the evening was when Dr. Gerre Hancock directed the students in singing "The Choristers' Prayer."  It was especially gratifying to hear their professional opinion about the choral music program we have at the academy, which they described as being "one of the finest in the country."  This was high praise indeed, coming from experts who have a finger on the pulse of sacred music throughout the nation.
The organ recital given by the Hancocks was just remarkable, and the service which followed was tremendously moving.  With Gerre directing the students, and Judith at the organ, it was a loving act of worship, and it certainly gave glory to God. We're particularly blessed to have Edmund and Chalon Murray as our musicians here in the parish.  Their work, especially with the students, is nothing short of astonishing.
