Before the spring semester ended, Br. Adrian shared his incredible collection of Subiaco athletics statistics, dating all the way back to 1921! Students eagerly flipped through the pages, searching for familiar names and checking if their dads and uncles had really been the legends they claimed to be. It was an energetic afternoon as Br. Adrian shared decades of Subiaco athletics stats, answered questions, and swapped stories with students. He was in his element. Bringing history to life and keeping the legacy alive! #subiacotradition #subiacoacademyathletics #subiacoacademy

Congratulations to Jude Post for recently representing Subiaco Academy at the 2025 Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership seminar! Jude attended the annual 3-day event for rising high school juniors held at Southern Arkansas University. Students were versed in the skill set necessary to be a leader, discovered what their individual leadership style may be, connected with leaders around the state, and built lasting friendships to prepare themselves to make a positive impact in their school and community. The premier leadership curriculum of the internationally-respected HOBY guides and mentors students through their journey to become Arkansas’ future leaders. Good job representing Subiaco, Jude! #subiacoacademy #FaithLearningLiving #hoby
