du Coeur

(From the Heart)

Dear Duchesne Friends and Families, This Report of Appreciation is our chance to express with pictures, words, and even pie charts, our sincere gratitude to the generous community that makes the work of the faculty, staff, and administration possible. Your support allows each student at Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart to flourish in a community whose resources are allocated to support each Goal and its Criteria as directed in the Foundational Principles for Sacred Heart Schools.

We will continue to educate to new frontiers as we brave uncharted waters in the name of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne. We consider ourselves lucky to have you as the wind in our sails and privileged to continue the legacy of the Sacred Heart here in Houston. From our hearts to yours, thank you!

2025-2026 was a record year for Duchesne in too many ways to count. In an historic campaign with unprecedented momentum, we raised the capital needed to acquire the property we have always prayed for. We pioneered this accomplishment while maintaining and advancing a top-notch education for girls of all ages. It is your participation in the Duchesne Fund, Sporting Clays, and Welcome to the Jungle Extravaganza that made our success possible. 2

Commencement Address Dr. Andrea VON STERNBERG Shurley ’90

Dr. Andrea von Sternberg Shurley, a proud member of Duchesne’s Class of 1990, serves as President of Ursuline Academy of Dallas, where she leads the school’s strategic vision and fosters an environment in which young women grow into confident, purpose-driven leaders. Previously, she spent a decade as Ursuline’s Principal, where she cultivated a supportive academic community grounded in connection and care. During her tenure, she strengthened relationships among faculty and students, expanded extracurricular opportunities, and advanced a culture in which every student is equipped to thrive. Before joining Ursuline, Dr. Shurley spent eleven impactful years in teaching and administration with the Schools of the Sacred Heart in San Francisco, California, including a transformative tenure as Head of School at Convent of the Sacred Heart High School. Prior to her work in education, she built a successful technology career first in Austin and then in Silicon Valley. Dr. Shurley holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Texas at Austin, a Master of Arts in English from Texas State University–San Marcos, and a Doctor of Education in Catholic Educational Leadership from the University of San Francisco. She and her husband, Christopher, are the proud parents of two sons, Knox and Gibson.

An excerpt from Dr. Shurley’s commencement address to the Class of 2026: “Whether you started your Duchesne days in Lower School or joined the ranks of Sacred Heart in Upper School, the gifts of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat and St. Rose Philippine Duchesne have soaked into your DNA; they are in your bones and will always impact the way you walk through the world. You will carry this place with you, and others you meet will recognize it in you. You are entering the world with a strong foundation, and that leads me to a few thoughts I hope you will carry with you as you begin this next chapter.

First: Think.

You leave today with more than a diploma; you leave with a disciplined and capable mind. Use it well. Your education has given you the enduring ability to learn – an ability that will guide you long after today. You must also cultivate discernment. Listen to those who have walked before you – your parents, your teachers, your mentors. Not every opportunity deserves your trust, and not every voice deserves your attention. If something does not merit thoughtful consideration, it does not merit action. Learn to trust the quiet clarity of your own judgment, formed in truth.

Next: Step beyond your comfort.

Growth rarely occurs in ease or certainty. There will be moments when you find yourself unsure, even overwhelmed. Do not retreat. Instead, rise to meet what is before you. 4

Report of Appreciation

2025-2026

You will come to understand that you are not meant to navigate life alone. Ask for help. Seek guidance. The people around you carry a deep desire to contribute to something greater than themselves – allow them to walk with you. Often, what first appears uncertain becomes, in time, a source of profound growth. Think about the beginning of senior year, how much uncertainty there likely was for you, and now many of those wonderings have been answered, and new ones are forming. That is exactly what should be happening!

Third: Commit.

A meaningful life asks something of us. At some point, each of you will confront a fundamental question: what do I believe in, and to what will I give my life? Faith invites us to recognize that we are not the center of all meaning – that there is something greater, enduring, and true. Responding to that invitation requires trust. It requires humility. It asks us to surrender control and to live in relationship – with God and with one another. Every meaningful relationship depends upon this willingness to commit. It is not a limitation; it is what gives life depth, stability, and purpose.

Finally: Love.

It may sound simple, but it is essential. Love is at the core of your educational experience here! To love is to recognize that life is not about oneself. Love is not dramatic or performative. It is built, day by day, in small and faithful acts of care. It is found in attentiveness, in generosity, in the quiet decision to place another’s needs beside and sometimes before your own.Celebrate the gifts you see in others. Learn from them. When you center your life on others in this way, your perspective changes. And over time, it is these relationships – these acts of love – that will endure. Not achievements or possessions, but the ways you have given and received love. As you graduate today, I wish for you that you always seek to nurture your faith, feed your intellect, serve generously, build and sustain relationships, and tend to your own growth with care and attention. Class of 2026, the world needs your intelligence, leadership, compassion, and joy. May you go forward with courage and confidence and remain open to where God leads you.

Congratulations!”

Lower School

Lower School provided students with meaningful opportunities to explore their interests, strengthen relationships, and develop a lifelong love of learning. Passion Projects encouraged creativity and student voice through hands-on experiences in fashion design, boat-building STEM, watercolor art, Charger News, Kindness Club, and more. Collaboration flourished across grade levels through reading buddies, Grade 4 mentorship of Kindergarten insect research projects, and Grade 3 and Pre-K4 partnership of the 101 Day Dalmatians service project. Students also benefited from enriching opportunities, including geology and cardiology presentations from parent experts, a virtual field trip to Saguaro National Park with a National Park Ranger, and integrated art projects that connected learning across disciplines. Throughout the year, service remained at the heart of the Lower School experience through initiatives such as the Sr. Karam Book Drive, reading visits to Pegasus Senior Living, support for Casa de Esperanza and Star of Hope Mission, and environmental stewardship through the Eco-Queens program. Together, these experiences helped students grow as confident learners, compassionate leaders, and joyful members of the Duchesne community.

Middle School

Middle School continued to strengthen the academic experience through expanded student support, intentional skill development, and programs designed to help every student thrive. Learning Lab and Math Lab services were expanded to provide additional individualized support, while dedicated testing spaces created an environment that promotes focus and student success. A renewed emphasis on writing across the curriculum encouraged students to think critically, communicate clearly, and deepen their understanding in every subject area. Grade 5 students also benefited from the introduction of the Level Up rotation, a program designed to navigate the transition from Lower School by building confidence and establishing a strong foundation for success in Middle School. With the right balance of challenge and support, students were prepared to approach the next stage of their education with greater confidence, independence, and skill.

Upper School

Upper School celebrated a year of exceptional achievement, student leadership, and meaningful engagement both inside and outside the classroom. Students distinguished themselves in academic competition, with the Mock Trial team advancing to the state competition and the French program earning a sixth-place finish among

33 schools at the Texas French Symposium. More than 50 student-led clubs provided opportunities to pursue shared interests, develop leadership skills, and inspire service within the school community and beyond. A reinvigorated social awareness curriculum guided all Grade 9 and 10 students through foundational service-learning experiences, preparing them for the transformative off-campus programs and research opportunities that await in their junior and senior years. Students also proudly represented Duchesne off campus, joining the St. Thomas High School Choir to perform the National Anthem at an Astros game. From the classroom to the larger Houston community, students embraced opportunities to lead, serve, compete, and make their mark.

Athletics

Duchesne Athletics continued to foster a culture of excellence, teamwork, and Charger pride through outstanding competitive achievements and meaningful opportunities for student-athletes.

Eight student-athletes committed to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level, reflecting years of dedication both on and off the field. The Middle School Flag Football program launched its inaugural season, expanding opportunities for students to compete and grow as teammates. Duchesne also hosted Sacred Heart schools from across the country at the Sacred Heart Network Volleyball Tournament, while the varsity soccer team traveled to Miami to compete against Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart. Through competition, camaraderie, and perseverance, Duchesne student-athletes continued to grow not only as competitors but also as leaders and teammates.

Fine Arts

Duchesne Fine Arts continued to inspire creativity, artistic excellence, and confident self-expression across every division. Theater productions welcomed record audiences for Middle and Upper School non-musical performances, supported by the talented Cam-Techs, whose student leadership in design and technical production remains the foundation of every show. This year, the theater also enhanced its technical capabilities through updates to sound and lighting systems and an overhaul of the catwalk, creating expanded opportunities for students to learn and perform in a professional environment. Music students excelled in competition, with 33 students participating in the Texas Private School Music Educators Association Solo and Ensemble Competition and 12 advancing to the state level. Lower School continued their tradition of standing-room-only Christmas productions while sharing music with the broader Houston community. In Visual Arts, new, state-of-the-art kilns expanded opportunities for ceramics students, and the on-site Jones Gallery showcased rotating exhibitions of exceptional student work throughout the year. Dance also expanded its performance offerings with a new Middle School showcase featuring student choreography alongside the Upper School’s signature spring production. The arts continue to be an essential part of the Duchesne experience, giving students the confidence to share their talents, the freedom to explore their creativity, and the opportunity to inspire others.

A SHARED DREAM. A DECISIVE MOMENT. SECURING DUCHESNE’S FUTURE ON MEMORIAL DRIVE. “It is the direction of the intention which gives us unity. Direction of intention is the greatest power in our life. We are what our intentions are.” – Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ The 2025–2026 school year marked a historic chapter for Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart as the You Hold the Key Capital Campaign transformed a long-held vision into reality. For generations, the Duchesne community had dreamed of expanding the school’s physical footprint beyond its 12-acre campus. This year, that dream became possible with the acquisition of the 8-acre Memorial Creole Apartments property adjacent to campus, bringing Duchesne’s total campus footprint to 20 acres. This transformational acquisition secures Duchesne’s presence on Memorial Drive and creates extraordinary possibilities for students today and for generations to come. The support from the Duchesne community has been equally remarkable. In less than six months following the campaign’s launch, Duchesne secured more than $21 million in gifts and pledges from current and former families, alumnae, grandparents, RSCJs, trustees, and friends of Duchesne. By May 2026, the campaign had surpassed $26.4 million, as of September 17, 2026, commitments have exceeded $28 million. This extraordinary momentum reflects the community’s shared belief in Duchesne’s Sacred Heart mission and its confidence in the school’s future.

With Grateful Hearts, We Thank Our Generous Donors...

Duchesne’s Board of Trustees, past and present parents and grandparents, alumnae, and past and present faculty and staff, demonstrate their commitment to Duchesne and the Sacred Heart Goals and Criteria through their financial support each year. The donors listed below made generous gifts in support of the Duchesne Fund, Extravaganza, Sporting Clays Tournament, and other special funds, excluding the You Hold the Key Capital Campaign, between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026. Campaign donors are recognized separately on page 18 of this Report of Appreciation.

The Sophie Society

Members of the Sophie Society are leadership donors who contribute $2,500 or more to the Duchesne Fund or $5,000 or more in a given fiscal year, when combined with gifts toward the school’s other fundraising activities.

A Tradition of Names in ALL CAPS

Duchesne is proud to recognize our alumnae in all forms of print by including their maiden name in an all-caps font whenever they are referenced. It is our hope that members of our school community will be able to instantly distinguish our alumnae in Duchesne’s printed materials. This is certainly one of the school’s longest lasting traditions.

A Heart of Generosity Donors Since 1979, generous individuals and foundations have made extraordinary, endowed gifts to Duchesne to ensure that many more young women have access to a Sacred Heart education and to support the professional development of Duchesne’s faculty.

We stand on their shoulders as we look to the future, knowing that their legacy lives on in everything we do. The following funds have been endowed through their generosity.
