Breaking the cycle of poverty through education and opportunity.

Congratulations to the San Miguel Academy Class of

Congratulations to the San Miguel Academy Class of 2023! Board members, family members, and many special friends of San Miguel Academy joined together to celebrate the School’s 13th graduating class. It was the final all-boys class class in the history of San Miguel Academy, which began admitting girls in 2020.

The valedictory speech was given by Gustavo Laureano, who was also awarded the Grit and Grace award, one of the School’s two highest awards, for leading by example and being a role model to others. Salutatorain Victory James was awarded the San Miguel Student Creed award: “When faced with a mountain, I will not quit. I will keep on striving until I climb over, find a pass-through, tunnel underneath, or simply stay and turn the mountain into a gold mine, with God’s help!”

Featured guests Arshay Cooper, of the A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund, and Collin Johnson, #15 Wide Receiver for the NY Giants, addressed the graduates and awarded medals to each gradate.

The mission of San Miguel Program is to break the cycle of poverty through education. San Miguel Program makes a 12 year commitment to each student beginning in 5th grade and seeing them through to the job market. The generous support of many individual donors, foundations, and organizations helps us to serve our middle school students as well as our graduates who continue to strive for academic and personal success.

The Road to Nationals: SMA rowers are preparing fo

The Road to Nationals: SMA rowers are preparing for next week’s USRowing Youth National Championships!

Three SMA boats were invited to compete in the USRowing Youth National Championships after qualifying at the Mid-Atlantic Championships: in the Mens U15 4x division, San Miguel Academy (SMA) took 2nd and 3rd place. In the Womens U15 4x division, SMA took first place as the sole entry. A total of 15 rowers are representing San Miguel Academy at the National Championships: one 5th grader, six 6th graders, four 7th graders, and four 8th graders.

The mission of San Miguel Academy’s Rowing program is to increase educational opportunities for our student-athletes. It has proven to be significantly beneficial in helping our students to secure top-level educational opportunities in high school and college. San Miguel Academy serves low-opportunity families who would never have access to rowing without the assistance of San Miguel Academy and sponsors which include the New York Giants Foundation, A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund, and the Head of the Charles/ Philadelphia Gold Cup Foundation. Typical of a low-opportunity program, SMA does not have a boathouse and docks, and regularly wet-launches for flat water training.

San Miguel Academy Rowing qualifies for the 2023 USRowing Youth National Championships!

Three San Miguel Academy boats were invited to compete in the 2023 USRowing Youth National Championships in Sarasota, Florida in June, having qualified at the USRowing Youth Mid-Atlantic Championships in West Windsor, New Jersey last weekend. In the Mens U15 4x division, San Miguel Academy took 2nd and 3rd place with excellent times. In the Womens U15 4x division, San Miguel Academy was the sole entry and showed excellent times and form on the race course.

The mission of San Miguel Academy's Rowing program is to increase educational opportunities for their student-athletes. It has proven to be significantly beneficial in helping students secure top-level educational opportunities in high school and college. San Miguel Academy graduates are now competing at several New England boarding schools and on college teams.

San Miguel Academy serves low-income families who would never have access to rowing without the assistance of San Miguel Academy and sponsors which include the New York Giants Foundation, A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund, and the Head of the Charles/ Philadelphia Gold Cup Foundation. Typical of a low-opportunity program, San Miguel Academy does not have the trappings of most rowing programs, including a boathouse and docks. San Miguel Academy rowers gain a unique experience by being actively involved in the management, transportation, and upkeep of their equipment.

At the USRowing National Championships, June 8-11, a total of 14 rowers look to improve the team’s 2022 performance, which was their first experience on the national level.

“This is for all the young people and to those who are graduating: of all the lessons I’ve learned, the number one lesson is the lesson of the coxswain.” -Arshay Cooper, A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund, June 1, 2023 at San Miguel Academy’s 13th Annual Commencement Exercises.#sanmiguelacademy#defyingtheodds#opportunitythrougheducation#breakingthecycleofpovertythrougheducation#graduatesuccess#cowswains#rowing … See MoreSee Less
