WELCOME ALUMNI, ALUMNI-PARENTS,
CURRENT PARENTS AND FRIENDS
Nazareth Academy Grade School students receive an education that is rooted in tradition that spans over sixty-five years. With an emphasis on strong fundamental skills, paired with an expanded curriculum, students receive everything they need to make a difference in the lives of others as well as their own.
While the administration and faculty addresses the academic needs of each student, the Development Office was established to support our educational mission that the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth began in 1941. We are pleased that an increasing number of NAGS alumni, parents and friends are actively involved in helping shape the face and future of the school.
EVENTS
Throughout the year, the Development Office sponsors events and programs to promote the school such as:
- GRANDPARENTS' AND OLDER FRIENDS' DAY! Thanks to the partiicipation over 260 Grandparents and Older Friends, our 8th Annual Event on September 28th was a great success.

We hope that everyone will remember this event for years to come.
