Breaking the cycle of poverty through education.

Congratulations to sixth grader Lionel who earned

Congratulations to sixth grader Lionel who earned the Creed Award for improvement across all areas of academic and personal development. In presenting the award, Lionel’s teachers talked about his positive attitude, kind spirit, and dedication to academics. Lionel is the third in his family to benefit from San Miguel Academy. His two older brothers are in college, at Union College and SUNY New Palz, which illustrates the significance of our 12 year commitment to each student and their family.

The San Miguel Student Creed: “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!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Swingin’

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Swingin’ into the Holidays with Frank Shiner, a benefit concert for San Miguel Academy at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center! With his 30-piece orchestra, led by Maestro Justin Fisher, and three fantastic backup singers–the Shinettes– Frank Shiner filled with theatre was filled with music, song, and energy that had everyone in the sold-out crowd tapping their toes and occasionally dancing in the aisles. The audience was treated to a surprise appearance by none other than Santa Claus!

The highlight of the evening for San Miguel Academy was when the San Miguel Academy choir sang ‘That’s Life’ with Frank, followed by the entire San Miguel Academy student body taking the stage to perform a patriotic medley. Having rehearsed with Choir Director Ralph M’Vore, the choir was dubbed ‘The Miracles’ by Frank for their transformation from barely audible to bold and confident singers that brought the Chappac house down!

With 100% of ticket sales from the sold-out show supporting San Miguel Academy, it truly was a magical night at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center. Special thanks to Stroll Chappaqua and Natalia Wixom Compast for supporting the event.

Dr. Christina Hundzynski, son David and daughter C

Dr. Christina Hundzynski, son David and daughter Charlotte, raised Thanksgiving provisions from their local community in Pleasantville, NY for San Miguel Academy families. Another reason for us to be full of gratitude as we help one another to be kind and generous.

Two San Miguel Academy graduates were honored last

Two San Miguel Academy graduates were honored last night at the Dominican University New York Annual Scholarship Recognition Dinner. Brandon Pineda (SMA ‘18, St. Benedict’s Prep ‘22, DUNY ‘26) was the recipient of the Beacon of Hope Scholarship, and Steven Palacios (SMA ‘20, St. Benedict’s Prep ‘24, DUNY ‘28) earned the Raymond Hill and Darla Sweet Rowing Scholarship. Both Brandon and Steven were part of the rowing program at St. Benedict’s Prep under the guidance of Coach Craig White, and are now rowing at the collegiate level for Coach Ivan Rudolph-Shabinsky at Dominican University.

We are so proud of our student-athletes who are working hard and taking full advantage of the opportunities they have. Thank you to Dominican Unveristy for partnering with San Miguel Academy to help our students defy the odds!
