As Black History Month came to a close, students in Grades 9-12 gathered for an inspiring assembly to learn about the Divine 9, the nine historically Black Greek-letter organizations. These organizations have long been pillars of leadership, service, and cultural unity, fostering academic excellence, social activism, and lifelong bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood.

Visitation Academy junior Elizabeth A. has been chosen for the prestigious YMCA Youth Advocate Program and will represent the state of Missouri at Youth Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C., from March 2-5. She is the only student from Missouri selected for this opportunity.

Visitation is proud to celebrate Blair S. '26, a dedicated student and equestrian, who was awarded the Junior Rider Sportsmanship Award for 2024 at the Missouri Hunter Jumper Organization (MOHJO) year-end awards banquet.

Six Visitation Academy students—Maeve M. '26, Libby M. '25, Maggie C. '26, Gabby M. '26, Caelan V. '26, and Kendall Ann M. '26—are leading by example through their involvement in the Glennon Guild Junior Board (GGJB). This organization, established in 2023, empowers high school students to serve families at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Together, these students exemplify the values of faith, service, and leadership that Visitation cherishes.
