We Have a Name!!

Our religion teachers worked with our students in grades 5-8 to come up with suggested names for our new school. Then our community had a chance to vote on their favorite name.

From the results of our family vote, we narrowed it down to the top five suggestions and shared those with Bishop Zubik for his final approval. Bishop Zubik selected Ave Maria Academy!

Get Involved with the PTG!

We are starting the process of forming a PTG for our new school! The new PTG will oversee all PTG related events and activities at both campuses. Our goal is to involve as many parents as we can.

Our four schools have been blessed with amazing parents who have worked to make each school's PTG something special. We are hoping that many of you who have made our PTG’s a success will join our new PTG. New parents are welcome too — whether you have a ton of PTG experience or are new to this whole thing, we'd like your help!

If you would be interested in helping us build our new PTG, please complete the survey. If you are unable to help us form the PTG, you are still welcome and encouraged to get involved at the start of the 2020-2021 school year! Thank you!

Sign up to get involved!
