Acorn Legacy Society
The Acorn Legacy Society has been organized to honor the individuals and families who have chosen to include Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart in their estate plans. Members of the Acorn Legacy Society have expressed the highest form of charitable support for the Academy’s mission. We believe that there will be an increasing need for a school that will “develop young men with active and creative minds, a sense of understanding and compassion for others, and the courage to act on their beliefs.” The commitments made by the members of the Society will provide resources for Princeton Academy’s work in perpetuity.
The Acorn Legacy Society gets its name from the beauty of our campus, and from the nature of our mission. The symbol of the Society comes from the bas-relief of an oak tree directly over the Manor House entrance. At the foot of the oak tree are acorns, the small seeds that over many years grow into solid oaks when they find fertile ground. At Princeton Academy, the Goals and Criteria of the Sacred Heart tradition provide a rich soil that continues to yield “young men who, when faced with the challenges of their times, will make the right decisions.”
"We bring up the children for the future, not for the present, not that we may enjoy the fruit of our work, but for others."
Janet Erskine Stuart
New members of the Society are presented with a medallion, and an annual luncheon
will be given in their honor. Princeton Academy is deeply grateful to the members
of the Acorn Legacy Society for ensuring that this important work will continue
well into the future.
