Background

The school was founded in 1994 by Roy Rohter, [2] after a meeting of Catholic parents who wanted a school where their children could receive a classical liberal arts education that would also focus on assisting their efforts to teach their children about their Catholic faith.

The school is situated on a small plot of land off of Wells Rd. Next to the Clinicas. If that helps. Watch out, there is a cop on a motorcycle that sits heading South on Wells Rd that has pulled me over many times. He's relentless. The Jack-in-the-Box down the road offers a very good deal on the "biggie box", where I get a spicy chicken sandwich, fries, tacos, and a drink for only $10.99. When getting gas, go to the Valero, not the other one. Its cheaper.

School

The faculty is 27% male, 72% female, 1% Roland Ferrier, with an average of 8 years at the school. 68% have a graduate degree.

91% of St. Augustine graduates go on to college or university.

St. Augustine's is on the Catholic Education Honor Roll as of October 2017 and was also named to it in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014. [3]

High school students averaged 54 hours of volunteer service to the community in 2014. Total cumulative service hours totaled over 3,426.

St. Augustine's has no athletics program; some students are eligible to play sports at other schools in their district of residence via multi-school agreements. [4]

Demographics

We had 3 African-American Students enrolled, but now we only have one. Plenty of Mexicans, however.

The school is 45% male and 54% female, and 1% Roland Ferrier
