  A Special Place in Our Hearts

  When Liz Price and John Shugrue were considering high schools for their twins, Sydney Shugrue '16 and Davis Shugrue '16, they wanted, like most parents, an environment where their children would grow and learn, make lasting friendships and discover new things. "But most importantly, when it came time for life's tough decisions, we wanted our children to ask themselves, 'What would God think about this?'" they said. Loyola Academy brought faith into the conversation in a way that felt relevant and of the moment for the Shugrue family. Sydney and Davis began their Rambler journeys in the fall of 2012—setting them on a lifelong path of personal and spiritual growth and academic and professional success.

  A Legacy for Generations

  By James M. McMenamin, LA '68
  My great grandmother, Frances Bridget Walsh McNamee, was widowed at the age of 40 with five young sons to raise. But she knew the worth of strong values and a good education. According to family lore, when she learned that the Jesuits were to open a new prep school on the grounds of Loyola University early in the 20th century, she held back sending my grandfather, Peter McNamee, to any other high school so that he could enroll in what she knew would be a superior Catholic institution of learning.

  Paul Boltz '61: Loyola Lessons Last a Lifetime

  Making a gift to Loyola Academy was an easy decision for me to make. My decision to establish a scholarship was prompted by the 50th reunion of the Class of '61 which led me to think back to my time at LA. They were great years for me because I learned a lot and had a lot of fun as well. I made friends for a lifetime and laid the foundation for the rest of my education at college and graduate school. From the Jesuits I also learned about self-sacrifice, devotion, and just plain hard work. My teachers were among the most impressive people I have ever met.
