WELCOME FROM OUR UPPER SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT

Hello Villa Duchesne Community,

My name is Charlotte Brown, and I am both honored and excited to serve as Student Council President for the 2025–26 academic year.

My years at Villa are part of who I am as they have helped to shape me into the person I am today. Filled with meaningful experiences, relationships, friendships, lessons, and challenges, my time here will remain with me always. As I anticipate my final year alongside my fellow seniors, I am energized by our school-year theme and its message:

Inspired by our founder, St. Philippine Duchesne, this theme is a bold declaration of ingenuity and purpose. Guided by our teachers and staff, we will find—and make—our way in labs, studios, and classrooms; with friends in the commons and lunchrooms; while performing on stage or competing with our coaches. We will navigate our paths supported by the strength of our Sacred Heart community, forming lasting bonds with each other and with our school through the unique and cherished traditions that Villa families have looked forward to for generations.

This year, we welcome 70 new freshmen into our High School—our largest freshman class in a decade. Each of them has much to look forward to as they begin their journey of finding their own way. As we look ahead and beyond, we are excited to watch Villa continue to grow and improve; work has already begun on our latest project—a new Middle School space, set to open in fall 2026.

The Student Council executive team is already hard at work planning events and preparing for the first day of school. We know this year will be a great adventure for all of us! I hope to meet many of you in person and welcome your feedback or questions. I truly love being a Villa girl—my only complaint is that it has gone by way too fast. As the saying goes, time flies—and it most definitely does here. So let’s make the most of it!

Thank you again for giving me this opportunity.
