WHY BE A “SAINT”?
#10… HAVE FUN! Enjoy time with your friends as you participate in clubs, sports, working on the school newspaper, singing in the choir, or just getting to know new people. St. Anthony provides an all-round, classic high school experience and it’s a great place to be!
#9…BECOME A STAR! At SAHS you can shine! Saints students enjoy the unique opportunity to participate in many areas of student life, including student government, varsity sports, campus ministry, retreat leadership… all while taking Honors and AP courses.
#8…EXPLORE NEW THINGS! St. Anthony’s classes are supported by the arts and technology. Using cross-curricular instruction, students have the opportunity to integrate and apply knowledge in various subject areas, allowing them to understand the connections that exist between content areas. This instruction is supported by the use of technology and the visual and performing arts. Students are engaged in learning by applying their experiences, knowledge and talents and creating their own understanding of the world around them.
#7…GET SMART! Students are fully immersed in learning in a safe and competitive environment that challenges even the best student!! Advanced Placement and Honors courses are offered in all content areas with a small student-to-teacher ratio. This certainly gives you an advantage over your friends who attend those “Big Schools”.
#6…EXPERIENCE THE WORLD! St. Anthony High School participates in exchange programs, hosting students from Japan, New Zealand, Cambodia, India, and various countries in Africa. Additionally, we encourage you to study abroad for a year if possible. Currently we have a sophomore student studying in Hong Kong. What a great experience!
#5…MAKE LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS! You will have the opportunity to study, play, share meals, pray and celebrate diversity together. You will learn to think globally and have the opportunity to be involved in service locally. At St. Anthony, students from many faiths and cultural traditions come together and feel at home.
#4…DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS! Did you know that we have a President’s Ambassadors Program that offers students an opportunity to develop leadership skills that both colleges and employers look for in their applicants? President’s Ambassadors at St. Anthony are selected based on their experience, enthusiasm, character and willingness to serve. Ambassadors receive training which helps them develop their public speaking, marketing, and community outreach skills. They serve as official hosts on behalf of St. Anthony College Preparatory High school, conducting campus tours, welcoming guests and presenting to local elementary schools, churches and the community.
#3…BUILD ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE! You will have an opportunIty to learn from a top-notch faculty which includes two members who hold Doctorates, one who is working towards a Doctorate degree, four who hold Master’s degrees, and seven who are in the process of attaining their Master’s degrees. One faculty member also teaches at the local community college. SAHS has a wonderfully talented and knowledgeable staff from which you can learn and grow.
#2…GROW THROUGH FAITH AND VALUES-BASED EDUCATION! For many years the Immaculate Hear Sisters and Brothers of the Holy Cross directed and taught at St. Anthony, and we continue the traditions by offering Catholic Christian values, based on Gospel teachings.
And…the #1 Reason to attend Saint Anthony High School: BECAUSE WE ARE THE SAINTS! You will grow to become an adult that you, your family, and your alma mater can be proud of.
