St. Anthony Grade School
St. Anthony Elementary School is a Catholic, co-educational school that provides a learning environment steeped in tradition and committed to excellence in education.
The school offers a comprehensive curriculum where students are encouraged to discover and develop their individual talents and potential.
St. Anthony High School offers a Christian-based, disciplined, safe environment which fosters the student's personal and academic growth for lifelong learning and enjoyment.
Faculty strive to positively contribute to each student's desire and ability to be responsible, contributing members of our constantly changing society.
The strength of the St. Anthony community is our faith; a faith initiated and celebrated in baptism, a faith united in the Eucharist, and a faith nurtured by one another through our daily Christian interaction.
St. Anthony High School welcomes students from diverse backgrounds to join us in our mission of education; a mission not only of intellectual growth, but one of physical, spiritual, moral and emotional growth as well.
At St. Anthony High School, we believe our learning community assists young people in the fourfold mission of the church: to teach and proclaim the Gospel, to live in community, to serve each other, and worship.
This mission, centered around the Eucharist, is founded in the belief that all students are created in God's image with unlimited potential.
