Loretto Academy

Established prior to 2008 and currently maintaining active SAM.gov registration until January 2026, the organization operates as an educational facility serving students in elementary, middle, and high school settings.

The recent federal grant sub-awards demonstrate Loretto Academy's focus on enhancing campus security infrastructure through targeted hardening projects. Specifically, the academy has received sub-awards from the Governor's Office of Texas for multiple security enhancement initiatives dated December 17, 2024. These grants fund comprehensive security upgrades across different campus areas, including the elementary campus, middle/high school, chapel, gym, and cafeteria. The security improvements include purchasing and installing critical safety infrastructure such as fencing, security cameras, access controls, gates, impact-resistant doors, and enhanced lighting. These target hardening activities appear to be designed to protect the nonprofit organization's facilities, likely in response to increasing safety concerns in educational environments. The grants suggest a collaborative approach with state-level government entities to improve institutional security through federal funding mechanisms.
