Celebrating as one Subiaco community! From monks in the monastery to food service staff, administrators, teachers, and coaches, our shared mission unites us. Together, we wrapped up the fall semester with joy, laughter, games, and fellowship—awaiting with hope the coming of our Lord. What a special way to embrace the spirit of Christmas on the Hill!

Today our Subiaco faculty, staff, administrators, and monks held a farewell reception to celebrate one of our Subiaco community treasures, Mr. Robert Pugh, Class of 1994.
Coach Pugh has worked at Subiaco Academy since August of 1999. During his time here, he has served as a residential dean; a teacher of history, driver’s education, health, and study skills; a coach; a bus driver; an assistant athletic director and a CERT team member. Coach Pugh became the school counselor in 2009 and he was recently named an honorary alumnus of the class of 1994. The Academy greatly appreciates all that he has done to serve our students and community.
Coach Pugh was celebrated with tributes by Abbot Elijah Owens, OSB, Headmaster Dr. David Wright, Chaplain of Subiaco Academy Dcn. Roy Goetz, and Assistant Head of School for Academics & Communications Ms. Cheryl Goetz. All spoke highly of his achievements and character, and of his unwavering integrity. He was also presented with a treasured handmade wooden bowl, crafted by Fr. Jerome Kodell, OSB, Class of '57.
The most challenging part about saying farewell, is that Coach Pugh is one of those unique individuals that has greatly impacted everyone on the hill and countless students over his 25 year Subiaco career. To say he will be missed is a gross understatement. It will be difficult to replace Rob Pugh as a dependable colleague at the academy, but it will be impossible to replace Rob Pugh as a loyal, caring, and selfless friend to all of us.
May your future endeavors be blessed, Mr. Robert Pugh. The heart of your Subiaco community goes with you. Onward Trojans!

Grateful for our Chaplain, Dcn. Goetz, who led the student body, faculty, and administration in a meaningful Advent prayer service and travel blessing in the Performing Arts Center today.
Many of our boarding students will journey by academy bus to other states, while others will travel by air to their home countries and beyond to reunite with their families. May their travels be safe and their holidays filled with peace and joy! Wishing everyone a safe and blessed Christmas season!
Travel Blessing given to our students:
"The love and affection of the angels be with you,
The love and affection of the saints be with you,
The love and affection of heaven be with you,
To guard and to cherish you.
May God protect you on every step, May He aid you on every path,
And may He hold you safe on every road,
On all your travels, until you return safely home."
Saint Nicholas, Pray for us.
Saint Benedict, Pray for us.

🌟FAITH AND FOCUS 🌟At Subiaco
Academy, our students shine as leaders both in their faith and in their extracurricular interests-on the court, in the classroom, and beyond. Inspiring by example, they show what it means to lead with purpose and heart.
One of those students is a junior from Paris, Arkansas, Alex Stengel. Alex has served since the second grade as an altar server, when he trained to do so at his home parish of St. Anthony's in Ratcliff, Arkansas. He serves regularly at our Subiaco Academy Wednesday student mass, solemnity masses and the latest priestly ordination of Fr. Raban Heyer. Alex also is an active leader on the Cycling team, National Honors Society, and serves as a Subiaco Academy Blue Arrow student ambassador. Alex achieved the significant milestone of earning the Eagle Scout rank, the highest honor in the Boy Scouts of America program.
“Faith has influenced my leadership by encouraging me to see Christ in each person and to be as fair as I can. In cycling, I strive to be the person who supports others when the journey gets tough and to lead by helping kids. In my daily life, I try to be kind to everyone I meet and to treat strangers as Christ would, because I would want someone to lift me up and show kindness to me.”

🎨🌟Subiaco Academy’s art department has been spreading holiday cheer throughout our community and beyond! Over the past week and a half, our scholars have worked on student-led community service projects inspired by the prayer of Saint Catherine of Bologna, the patron saint of artists, which encourages us to use our artistic gifts for good.
Each class selected team leaders and assistants, who organized their groups, chose organizations to benefit, and completed meaningful projects. This initiative has not only strengthened teamwork but also brought joy to those being served and to the students themselves. We are so proud of their creativity, leadership, and commitment to making a positive impact this holiday season. We are fortunate at Subiaco Academy to have Ms. Christina Stengel in our Art Department to help form our students into service-minded community leaders. Onward Trojans!

Great game Trojans!

✨REJOICE! THE LORD IS NEAR!
Today, Subiaco Academy came together for a beautiful Advent and Reconciliation service, led by our Academy Chaplain, Dcn. Roy Goetz. The service featured a reading from St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians 4:4-7: "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice..."
We were blessed to have five priests present ~ one of our many benefits of being attached to Subiaco Abbey, our Benedictine monastery. Students were offered the opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation. Many embraced this chance for grace and renewal as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ.
Come, Lord, Joy of your people!
