Congratulations to the high school students that took part in the theatre production of Jane Austen’s wonderful novel "Pride and Prejudice". The cast performed exquisitely!
Chesterton Academy would like to offer our gratitude to Director Terry Sattler of HFHE, the parents and faculty that worked tirelessly to make this production possible and those that supported the performance by attending the five sold out evenings. Our students have many fond memories of their first theatre experience.

Bi-Monthly Highlights at Chesterton Academy

March and April have been months of renewal for the students at Chesterton Academy. In the spirit of pilgrimage, the academy journeyed to two beautiful sites in celebration of the Lenten Season.

March 12th the students went to The Cathedral of St Paul in St Paul, MN. Fr. Bryan Pederson Pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Robbinsdale, heard confessions, offered Mass at the altar of St Peter, prayed the Stations of the Cross and led us in a tour of the Cathedral. Chesterton Academy thanks Fr. Pederson for his great service to our school.

April 5th the academy students, in-coming students and families journeyed to The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Nestled on the rolling hillside of LaCrosse the Shrine provided a place of peace and serenity. Our group of 35+ walked the Meditation trail to attend Mass at Shrine Church, visited the Rosary Walk, the Memorial to the Unborn, Stations of the Cross, and enjoyed a delightful lunch. This Holy Week Pilgrimage, on a beautiful spring morning, refreshed the spirits of everyone.
