Event Details
Please join Christy, Dr. Brian Guenther, and the San Marcos Academy community for the 2nd annual Academy Nights Gala on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 5:30 pm at the Embassy Suites Hotel.
This annual fundraiser is not only a special event for ALL SMA parents (PreK-Upper School), administration, faculty, grandparents, alumni, and staff/faculty to come together, but also an opportunity for the greater Central Texas community to witness how God is on the move at SMA. In addition to great food and fellowship, guests will enjoy live and silent auctions and dance the evening away to "The Tones".
With more than 300 guests in attendance, last year's Academy Nights raised over $217,000 to benefit San Marcos Academy, including over $30k for the Military Science program. While last year's event was a great success, we know that with your help, this year's gala will raise even more support for SMA.
