Saint Joseph Academy: Celebrate the Academy

Sponsorship deadline to appear in the printed invitation is December 12, 2025.

Registration for tickets opens January 2, 2026.

Due to exciting renovations underway at The Academy, please join us offsite at The InterContinental Hotel on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 6 p.m. for our Celebrate the Academy Gala themed "Under Construction".

At the Academy, the only all-girls Catholic high school in the City of Cleveland, it is our mission to bring a quality Catholic education to the 615 students entrusted in our care so they may change the world as compassionate leaders in a global society. The Academy empowers students to challenge themselves with a rigorous curriculum and explore endless opportunities to find their passions, including the Health Sciences Honors Program, Engineering & Design Honors Program, Global Scholars Program, the Academy Humanities Scholars Program, the Howley Makerspace Innovation Lab and more!

Our annual “Celebrate the Academy” gala represents an opportunity to showcase your support of Catholic education to a broad and engaged community. In 2025, this amazing evening raised more than $430,000 (gross) for support of tuition assistance and academic initiatives at Saint Joseph Academy! We are grateful for our underwriters, sponsors, guests, donors and event committee who made this event possible.
