Dear Friends,
I am pleased to announce that The St. Austin School has earned the prestigious distinction of being named to the Cardinal Newman Society’s Catholic Education Honor Roll. St. Austin engaged in a thorough internal and external review of its Catholic identity and academic excellence before being awarded this status. We have the distinction of being the only school in the St. Louis area with this recognition. Please visit the Cardinal Newman Society’s website for more information.
We are honored to share our joy in this important achievement with our community of students, parents, alumni, and benefactors.
Thank you for continuing to support The St. Austin School. We look forward to returning to school in August and celebrating with a Mass of thanksgiving.
In Christ,
Gerry Dolan
Headmistress

“In the end, we Catholic educators can rest in the knowledge that our Church’s intellectual tradition offers the fullest and most authentic approach to any academic discipline. We need not be blown around by the latest winds and storms of education; our own tradition remains the steadfast lighthouse.”
