St. Agnes Academy
When Christmas Break has come and gone, that only means one thing, the Spring semester is in full gear.
The second semester flies by between extracurriculars like
athletics,
arts, and miscellaneous programming, plus specific
academic calendars. Seniors genuinely start to feel the bittersweetness of reaching the final year of high school, and first-year students finally begin grasping what's what.
To both the teachers' and students' chagrin, there are a few holidays with more than one day off scattered throughout the remaining months here at St. Agnes Houston.
What Events Take Place in the Spring Semester?
Take a look at the academic year's remaining five months to see what is in store for the St. Agnes Community. Save the date to check them out, or reach out if you are interested in learning more about any of the below!
While many dates are flexible to change, you can understand what the semester holds. Additionally, we have weekly events like Mass in the chapel every Thursday or the Parents' Association Rosary group, which prays together every Tuesday morning in the chapel.
Something to note: the Fall 2023 calendar has yet to be made available, but check back soon for more.
January
Thankfully the first month back is only partially jam-packed. This month is typical, with a welcome-back coffee, a Winter Formal for the students, an all-school Mass, and a couple of parent-related meetings and luncheons scattered within.

February starts to pick up the pace. Two different grade levels get to go on retreat. The monthly board meetings begin again. Seniors get to strut their stuff at the annual Style Show, and students who sell their quota of Raffle tickets will get the day off!

March flies by thanks to another Raffle Holiday and week-long Spring Break away. All retreats conclude by the end of March, and parents get to have a night for themselves at our annual fundraiser, the St. Agnes Gala. Planning for the following year kicks into full swing with Academy Access, in which prospective students can get an inside look at what it is like to be a St. Agnes student, and seniors get to hear more about what Greek Life offers. This month's events include winter athletic awards, a choir tour, and an Advancement Event entitled "Living Veritas."

Feeling Overwhelmed by the St. Agnes Houston Calendar?
Don't be. The school's calendar is always available online, and we have plenty of administrators ready to answer any questions. Some of our events are specific to our school, and while once you're on the "inside," you know how special they are, it can be intimidating not to know what exactly "Madonna Day" or "Living Veritas" events are. We are here to help.
The
St. Agnes calendar is a mainstay in households all over Houston. Whether an event for parents, alumnae, current or prospective students, or administrators, it has it all.
Many of our lasting traditions, such as the International Food Festival or Madonna Day, show up on the calendar, plus programming that changes every year, like the Black History Month Assembly.
For the type-A personalities and those just trying to determine what the current day holds, we encourage you to dig into our online calendar.
