Holy Rosary Academy Alaska

HRA was represented this week in DC at Catholic University of America and the The Cardinal Newman Society's K-12 Leader's Summit. I met all the presidents of Cardinal Newman colleges and spoke highly of our graduates who look to these colleges for their authentic Catholic education.

The 2026 Newman Guide Leaders Summit begins tomorrow.

Leaders from Newman Guide Recommended K–12 schools, colleges, and graduate programs across the country will gather in Washington, D.C., to strengthen faithful Catholic education and share ideas for forming students in truth, virtue, and faith.

5 Days to move 38 years- that's an impressive ratio! Our fearless leader, Art Heaphy, had the stamina to predict that our team of parents and teachers could do it! His hope, inspiration, and diligent effort from 7 am to 9 pm kept us moving. We were blessed with many parent volunteers, furniture from Providence Hospital, desks from Lumen Christi Catholic High School, Denali Disposal, and prayers!

Heavy lift morning crew got the piano down and safely settled in St. Cecilia's. Teddy J. never gave up today as he worked tirelessly with Art and Bradley carrying desks, shelving units, and more things we found in the small spaces of HRA. Our evening heavy lift crew from Bells takes time off to pose after moving this desk! Another successful day of moving forward together.
