St. Anthony Catholic High School

The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate of the Southern United States Province founded St. Anthony Junior Seminary in 1903. Still, it was not until September 1905 that the “New Apostolic High School” opened its doors with 22 students. The school was founded originally as a Junior Seminary for the formation of young men for the priesthood, thus it came to be known as St. Anthony High School Seminary.

St. Anthony was founded on many rich traditions, with two of the most cherished elements being spirituality and community while providing a quality education for an all-boys high school. On July 1, 1995, the University of the Incarnate Word assumed management of St. Anthony. Under its new administration and new name, St. Anthony Catholic High School was provided with greater opportunities and horizons to expand its already rich traditions of spirituality, community, and academics. The year 2003 brought even more changes to St. Anthony, as for the first time, St. Anthony began to accept young women.

Who We Are

MISSION STATEMENT
St. Anthony Catholic High School prepares young men and women for positions of responsibility and leadership through a college preparatory curriculum based on Catholic values and traditions. Within a comprehensive array of demanding academic courses, athletics, and extra curricular activities, students develop the mental, physical, and spiritual well being needed to make choices consistent with their academic and career goal and reflecting the spirit of Catholic education.

VISION STATEMENT
St. Anthony Catholic High School is a premier co-educational institution founded on Catholic values and traditions, which are the basis for a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum designed to promote scholarship and spiritual growth and appreciation for the power of service.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
To accomplish our mission, SACHS offers a wide variety of academic, athletic, and other life experiences guiding students to assess critically their own values and those of the culture in an effort to promote issues of justice and peace in our world. The school challenges the students to participate in the total program of the school through an integration of academic, athletics, Christian service, community activities, and spirituality.
It is expected that students will accept the challenge to prepare themselves for a life of Christian service by their active involvement in all aspects of the school program. Through this active involvement, students will truly find a community life experience which will better prepare them for the challenges of the future and for their place of service in the Church and the world.
