Crazy how fast a year can move. One minute everyone is moving into campus, and the next you’re looking back at moments you didn’t even realize were becoming memories.
The Avila Aviators took the time to put together this Year in Review video, and honestly, it captures so much of the energy, community, and pride that filled campus throughout the year. The events, the laughs, the traditions, the behind-the-scenes moments… all of it mattered.
We knew this deserved more than one post, so welcome to the start of our Year in Review series. 🦅
Take a moment to reminisce with us… you just might see yourself in a few memories along the way.

Caps tossed, dreams launched, and a future without limits begins. 🎓✨
Rooted in the legacy of our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, this moment is more than a celebration—it’s a continuation of a mission. Our graduates carry forward a tradition built on service to the dear neighbor, courage, and purpose.
The Class of 2026—our largest in history—stood proud and stepped boldly into what’s next, ready to lead, serve, and make an impact in the world. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle. 🦅
