Principals 2026 End-of-Year Wrap Up

Principals 2026 End-of-Year Wrap Up

Dear ANC Community,

The 2025-26 academic year has officially closed and we are earnestly preparing for the 2026-27 academic year. The final months of ’25-’26 were filled with activity, engagement, and celebration. 

The end-of-year Delta Mu Service Club trip was a grand success with a significant percentage of our students working on preparing the Salvation Army’s Camp Ladore for their summer season of providing a unique and meaningful experience for students hailing from eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and adjacent areas.

Spring sports enjoyed competitive play, team bonding, and success both on and off the field. Several of our student-athletes earned All-League Recognition in their respective sport. Of particular note is the fact that Ten ANC student-athletes were named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association High School Academic Squad which requires a minimum of a 3.5 GPA for eligibility.

Our Spring Musical, “Curtains” entertained hundreds of audience members. The cast and crew were excellent. A quote from the The Philadelphia Independence Awards reads, “It was obvious from the first song that this program has an incredible wealth of talent.” 

In the final days of the Spring Term, our students provided a wonderful Performing Arts Concert, Fine Arts Exhibit, and Visual Arts Portfolio Exhibition, showcasing the many talents present at ANC. Students were celebrated at the Department Awards for stand-out academic and athletic performance as well as their dedication to learning and applying the moral principles that are the foundation of our work at ANC.

And finally, we congratulated our seniors during their commencement ceremony. The speeches were outstanding and moving. You can always check upcoming events on our calendars, read news stories, or watch various videos including Graduation, Chapel, and Oratorical Speeches at www.ancss.org.

We are blessed to work with such wonderful students and staff. ANC is special in large part because of the people who work and learn here. Thank you for your continued care and support.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Irwin and Erica Stine
