Padua Academy officially kicked off the 2025–26 school year with excitement and tradition. The first day brought fresh beginnings for our incoming freshmen and important milestones for the Class of 2026 as they begin their senior year. This new chapter promises growth in faith, friendship, and learning. Suaviter sed Fortiter—Softly, but Strongly—guides us once again as we continue our cherished traditions.
One of Padua’s most beloved traditions, the Big Sister/Little Sister welcome, made the day especially memorable. Big Sisters decorated their Little Sisters’ lockers with ribbons, streamers, candy, and heartfelt notes, filling the halls with creativity and Panda spirit. Our freshmen were greeted with warmth and love on their very first day. Thanks to the thoughtful efforts of their Big Sisters!
