Meet Our Donors

Ed and Kelly Bulleit

In the fall of 2012, we toured local high schools with our 8th-grade daughter, unaware that this journey would lead us to the Academy of the Holy Names. What began as a school visit soon became a deeply meaningful chapter in our family's life. The Academy quickly became Kendall's second home—a place where she was challenged academically, forged lifelong friendships, and experienced a profound spiritual transformation. In hindsight, while we may not have fully grasped it at the time, Kendall knew from the start that AHN was where she was meant to be.

Kendall thrived at AHN, embracing every new challenge with enthusiasm and energy. She was supported by caring, intelligent, and dedicated educators who showed, through their actions, just how deeply they cared for their students. Their passion for both learning and faith became a priceless gift for Kendall, helping her grow academically and spiritually in a nurturing environment.

At graduation, Kendall delivered a speech that beautifully captured her gratitude and affection for AHN. She shared a touching memory of the penny loafer shoes we bought her as a freshman. Through the years, those shoes accompanied her on countless adventures—each step marking a milestone in her journey at the Academy. On her last day, she gave those well-worn shoes new life by painting them gold—a symbol of triumph and the lasting impact her time at AHN had on her.

We wanted to honor Kendall's journey and the school that played such a significant role in her growth. Over the years, we've volunteered and served on various boards, but we felt it was important to contribute in a way that would ensure AHN's continued success for future generations.

That's why we decided to include the Academy in our estate plans. With the guidance of AHN's Advancement Office, the process was easier than we expected. By joining the Holy Names Legacy Society, we are helping secure the future of this exceptional Catholic school. We invite you to consider making a similar commitment to AHN, ensuring that its doors remain open for our children's children and generations to come.
