Following the festivities, the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts Congregation gathered alongside Father Jeremy Sabugo and several Academy graduates, many of whom have maintained strong ties to their alma mater. These graduates have returned to the Academy in various roles—as faculty, staff, teachers, or dedicated volunteers who help bring school events to life. Among them is Kehau Bugado ‘97, a proud daughter of the Academy and a theology teacher, who shared what it means to be back. “I feel like I’m at home when I teach here, (especially) being surrounded by my friends that I call sisters and who I also went to school with,” she said. Her connection to the school runs even deeper, as two of her daughters currently attend the Academy, while her eldest recently graduated and now works part-time in the afterschool program while attending college. Her story is a testament to the lasting bonds and sense of community that continue to flourish at the Academy. All photos by Corilee Harbottle.
