Even weeks after our graduation ceremony, the message from our commencement speaker, Mr. Jesse Navarro, continues to resonate with us at Subiaco Academy. As a distinguished member of the Tohono O'odham people, one of the Native American tribes of the Sonoran Desert, Mr. Navarro is the Baboquivari District Legislative Council Representative, and is from the village of Coldfields in the Baboquivari District on the Tohono O’odham Nation. Mr. Navarro relayed to the graduates the message that it is important to always remember who you are and where you come from. That by sharing our unique God-given gifts and abilities, we can become true leaders. According to one of his most influential Native American mentors, a true leader is identified by someone who can "take the arrows in the back and the bullets in the front." He reminded the graduates that when the path to leadership is difficult, it is important to stay humble and pray for those who may not be supportive. His address concluded with a song that he presented in his native O'odham language. Demonstrating honorably that he remembers who he is and where he comes from. We are especially proud this year of two of our 2024 graduates from the same Native American heritage and tribal lands in Arizona as our commencement speaker. Delo Folson and Johnny Miguel are the first of the Tohono O'odham Nation to graduate from Subiaco Academy. During his time here at the academy, in addition to other achievements, Delo excelled as a member of the Jazz Ensemble, standing out as an exceptional drummer in our band that travels and performs live in locations such as Memphis Beale Street and the San Antonio Riverwalk. Johnny also thrived in the Subiaco environment in many ways, earning the Medal at graduation for Excellence in Application to Studies, and also receiving the esteemed Wardlaw scholarship of $10,000 to go towards the pursuits of a higher education. Our Subiaco community looks forward to the other future graduates from the Tohono O'odham Nation, and are grateful to Mr. Navarro for sharing his words of wisdom and guidance.

What’s better than a three-day weekend? Reminiscing about the last weeks of our 2024 school year. #subiacoacademy #onwardtrojans

On Memorial Day we honor all military members who have died while serving in U.S. forces in any current or previous wars. Every day, and especially today, we remember and honor the memory of all our alumni, faculty, staff and family members of our community who have given their lives for our country. “There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.” John 15:13 For all of our alumni and family members of our community who currently serve our country in the U.S. forces, we pray for safety and protection. St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle… #STP #subiacoacademy #subiacoacademyalumni

Outstanding group on the road! First night at Agua Piedra just south of Taos. Spent most of today on a hike through the snow to Williams Lake just below the peak of Mount Wheeler, NM's highest peak.

From the halls of our school to the sacred altar, we are incredibly proud to witness one of our own take this profound step. As a Subiaco student he was known as Happy-Go-Lucky Cody, Honor Roll Cody, All-Conference Football Cody, and Executive Council Student Body President Cody. Tomorrow on May 25, 2024, 10 years after graduating from Subi, he will be known as Father Cody, a Catholic priest for the Diocese of Little Rock. Congratulations on your ordination, Cody Eveld! Your journey inspires us all. Watch livestream on the Catholic Diocese of Little Rock YouTube account at 10:00 a.m. #FaithInAction #STP #subiacoacademyalumni https://www.youtube.com/live/VMvhLHCZNIg?si=meGm1NP8eIDDqMqX

Excitement filled the air last week as the beginning of the artificial turf field and all-weather track transformation project got underway! The Reynold P. Maus Sports Complex is undergoing a major facelift and our entire community will benefit. Recognition goes to Royal Ridge Construction, the general contractor for the project, and to the supporters of the Capital campaign that make these improvements and updates possible. History was made this year as the Class of 2024 holds the distinction of fielding the final Trojan football and soccer teams to play on the grass field. The expected time for project completion is September 2024, just in time for the first home game of the Subiaco Trojans Football team. Additional improvements have been made this spring to the Oskar D. Rust Gymnasium with the installment of central heat and air conditioning and the painting of the ceiling and walls in the indoor athletic facility, traditionally referred to as "the Green Room". The gymnasium includes the basketball court, the indoor practice facility for football/soccer/baseball, batting cages for baseball, a rock climbing wall, and a weight room. Abbot Elijah, faculty, and students celebrated this exciting progress with an ice cream social before the students departed for the summer. Thank you to all who contributed to reaching this goal and making it a reality. In addition to the photo of Abbot Elijah Owens signing the contract with Royal Ridge Construction, LLC., find here some "before" pictures of the field, and some finished pictures of the freshly painted indoor practice facility. #onwardtrojans #subiacoacademy #subiacoacademyalumni
