Rock the Lawn 2016 was Amazing! It started out as an idea to gather together and re-engage our alumni and it grew into an incredible event that none of us at AHA will soon forget! The biggest alumni event in AHA history brought out young and old to the lawn for food, drink and fellowship! The night started out with an awesome Mass celebrated by both Father James Adams ’94 and AHA Chaplain Father Mike Tix. Then, after an AHA history presentation by Principal Heidi Foley and Assistant Principal Mark Melhorn, the tours, the music and the party on the lawn began! A highlight was Paul Peterson’s ’83 tribute to his friend Prince as he sang the song Purple Rain. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped make Rock the Lawn become a reality! Check out the AHA Alumni Facebook page to see more pictures Watch an amazing aerial video of Rock the Lawn put to music

Thanks to You, We Did It! Thanks to the generous support of donors like you, the 2015-16 AHA Annual Fund set a record and exceeded its $1.425 million goal! More than 2,500 community members made gifts to the school and general giving (not including special event related fund-raising) increased 25% over last year. In addition, Holy Angels received another $150,000 in program and project funding through other auxiliary efforts. We are also proud to say that AHA is a place where students can become STARS. By providing excellent academics, daily faith formation, service opportunities, and a rich array of sports and activities, students can identify and cultivate their talents. This experience prepares our students to shine - at college, in their careers, and in service to others. We are grateful for the generosity of donors like you, who make this work possible. Together, we can help even more students become STARS!
