“House Calls” – Shea Bromirski’s journey from small town hero to college star

Cambridge’s Shea Bromirski took a unique route to get to the midtown Albany college campus of the College of St. Rose.  This tiny urban campus between Western and Madison Avenues is now home to this small town star who is realizing a dream of playing college basketball.

For the legions of fans who watch him, it is a trip many people are glad he made and one he hopes other small school players dream about and achieve as they work to realize their own hoops dreams.

Shea’s journey began over on the Vermont border in the tiny towns of Hoosick Falls and Cambridge, where there is lots of open space and often the sport of football reigns supreme.  On the 10-mile stretch between the two tiny villages, this coach’s son spent many years driving to the St. Mary’s gym to play and learn from his daddy who was a teacher and coach there.  Not that football didn’t get to Shea (he won a Sectional title in high school as the starting quarterback) but hoops has always been his game and his work is paying off. read more


 SMA Alumni Attend the Annual Pancake Breakfast in 2009

SMA Alumni

Students celebrated a mini reunion this past Fall by participating in the Annual Pancake Breakfast.  Everyone proudly displayed their college sweatshirts while some students spoke during the event- educating our younger students on the benefits of furthering your education, what transitioning to public school is like and what they enjoyed best about their family at St. Mary's Academy.


Why I love to come to visit SMA on my day off of school…..

Because SMA is surrounded with faith, joy, peace, love, patience, goodness, Self-control, gentleness and kindness, literally.  * I love Miss Cudd *
~Aaron Delurey, Sophomore HFCS- January 2010

When I come back here it feels like nothing has changed. Everyone treats me as if I never left.  I love it! The teachers are like parents to me.  I love SMA!!
~Grace Delurey, Freshman HFCS- January 2010

I love to see Mr. B’s smiling face!!
~John Hayden, Sophomore HFCS- January 2010

Because I always love to see my old teachers and say hello. I love to see all my old friends that still go to St. Mary’s . I always loved St. Mary’s  and don’t want to not be here!
~Alice Hayden, Freshman HFCS- January 2010

One of the things I most look forward to on a day off is going to visit St. Mary’s  if they do have school. The good things about  this are seeing teachers there that I don’t see much ever since I graduated  8th grade, and just bringing back memories of my days there.
