THE HISTORY OF ST. ANTHONY CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate of the Southern United States Province founded St. Anthony High School Seminary in 1903, but it was not until 1905 that the "New Apostolic High School" opened its doors. The school was founded originally as a Junior Seminary for the formation of young men for the priesthood, thus this came to be known as St. Anthony High School Seminary. An all-boys high school, St. Anthony was founded on many rich traditions, with two of the most cherished being the elements of spirituality and community. On July 1, 1995, the University of the Incarnate Word assumed management of St. Anthony. Under its new administration, and new name, St. Anthony Catholic High School now has greater opportunities and horizons to expand its already rich traditions of spirituality, community, and academics.
