From athletics to robotics, mathematics to music, a Woodlands education is as much about what goes on outside the classroom as within it. Our programs encourage each student to try something new and compete to the highest of her ability.

The Woodlands community gathered today to celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints with a Mass that also honored one of our founding mothers, Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ. Head of House Stuart, Mr. Brendan Bond, led with a reflection on Mother Stuart. House Stuart President Ida Psencik '25 provided the student reflection.
Woodlands Academy recently was notified that it has secured a place on the College Board's AP School Platinum Honor Roll for the 2023-24 school year. This honor recognizes schools that have done outstanding work to welcome more students into AP (Advanced Placement) courses and support them on the path to college success.
Parents and other guests joined the Woodlands Academy community on Oct. 17 for the Mater Mass, which celebrates the drawing of the sophomore class more deeply into the family of the Sacred Heart. This tradition marks a student's transition from a time as a child to an emergence as a young woman. Each sophomore receives a medal depicting the image of Mater (Mother of God).
In addition to a recently announced semifinalist, two more Woodlands Academy of the Sacred students have distinguished themselves in the current National Merit Scholarship competition. Avery Drehkoff and Yue Pan have each received a Letter of Commendation from Woodlands and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in recognition of exceptional academic promise.
