Leading with Faith: A Message from our Leadership

Welcome to Nazareth Academy, a high school community rooted in faith and committed to educating the whole person. Nazareth is a home shaped by generations of students challenged to grow intellectually, spiritually and socially.

As proud alumni and leaders who have walked these halls for over three decades, we are privileged to serve this exceptional community. We are inspired daily by the faculty, staff and students who bring our mission to life.

A Nazareth education pairs academic excellence with deep respect for human dignity. Guided by our pillars of Scholarship, Service, Spirit, and Unity, we create a vibrant environment where students learn to think critically and lead with integrity. Rooted in our Catholic identity and the vision of the Sisters of St. Joseph, we strive for unity and social justice, helping students recognize God’s presence in all of life.

We look to the future with confidence and joy. Thank you for being part of our story; we invite you to discover the spirit that makes Nazareth a place where potential is realized.

With gratitude and hope,

Deborah Vondrasek Tracy, President, Class of 1982

Therese Uphues Hawkins, Principal, Class of 1979
