Time sure does fly when you’re having fun. The time is finally here; Nazareth is celebrating our 125th Anniversary in 2024-25. All of us here at Nazareth are thrilled to celebrate our special home all year. So much history and so many memories have taken place, and we want to share it with all of you who have and continue to make an impact. 


A special 125 Anniversary website has been created for you to view upcoming events, history, legacy and spirit shop. For 125 years, the Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph, Nazareth Academy (faculty, staff and alumni community) has been committed to help ensure and forward our mission of educating the whole person.


Thank you for making this anniversary possible with your continued spirit and loyalty. I look forward to celebrating with you throughout the year!


That All May Be One,

50th Anniversary WALK


Let’s take a WALK down memory lane. When it began in 1974, the WALK was its own day. There was a pep rally followed by a long walk throughout La Grange Park, Brookfield and La Grange that lasted all day. Today’s students and teachers now walk a 5K throughout the neighborhood. The WALK is still the only fundraiser where we not only ask every student to participate, but also every single faculty & staff member to participate. All monies raised from the WALK go directly to our general operating budget which ensures all students receive a full Nazareth Academy academic experience.   


Share your favorite WALK memories here as we celebrate its 50th Anniversary and stay tuned for how you can support WALK 2024.
