St. Anthony Catholic School celebrates each individual as a unique child of God, provides a safe, Christ-centered environment that promotes cultural diversity, academic achievement, and challenges each of us to serve the school, parish, and community.
More than a school, we are a family.
Our 2020-2021 theme is Anchored in Faith
A note from Mrs. Becker
We are really flying through this school year with sights on next year!
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK 2021 ~ FAITH ~ EXCELLENCE ~ SERVICE
We enjoyed Catholic Schools Week. The students participated in a number of classroom service projects and looked awesome in the different dress out themes for the week. We even played a school-wide Bingo game. Students had a picnic and enjoyed a dance-a-thon.
Registration Packets for the 2021-2022 School Year were be distributed on February 2, 2021. Please carefully consider your plans for the 2021-2022 School Year and make your commitment to return to St. Anthony Catholic School as soon as possible. We have several grades at or near capacity and cannot hold seats without the completed registration packet and the $100 Registration Fee. The first 100 families completing the registration process will receive a t-shirt for each registered student. (Please see the flier in the packet for details.)
