"O God, our Father, bind together in Thine all-embracing love every family on earth. Banish anger and bitterness with homes, nourish forgiveness and peace. Bestow upon parents wisdom and patience that they may gently exercise the disciplines of love, and call forth from their children their greatest virtue and highest skill. Instill in children such independence and self-respect that they may freely obey their parents and grow in the joys of compansionship. Open the hearts to hear the truth within the words another speaks. Open the eyes to see the example of virtuous parents, open hearts to complete forgiveness and understanding of all things willed by Thee, O Creator and Sustainer of families."
– St Augustine

St. Augustine School was founded in 1927 and has instilled the concept of excellence in its students. With an average student population of 650 for the last seven years in grades 8th through 12th, St. Augustine remains the only Catholic high school in Laredo. The school continues to base its education on the tradition of excellence - a tradition founding in the history of St. Augustine School, Ursuline Academy, and St. Joseph's Academy.
The original St. Augustine campus was located in downtown Laredo next to historical San Agustin Church. Founded by the Oblates and staffed by the Sisters of Divine Providence in 1927, the school flourished for many years. |
In the mid 1970's, with the closings of both Ursuline Academy and St. Joseph's Academy, (the other two Catholic high schools in Laredo), Sister Bonaventure Jordan and the parents of St. Augustine students pursued the idea of relocation. The community embraced the idea, and St. Augustine High School was relocated to the Ursuline campus at 1300 Galveston Street.
It was then that a group of concerned Laredoans formed Laredo Catholic Consolidated, Inc. This non-profit corporation operated the school for eleven years. Then in 1987, St. Augustine School became a part of the school system of the Diocese of Corpus Christi and Laredo Catholic Consolidated, Inc. was dissolved.
St. Augustine School is accredited by the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department which meets the approval of the Texas Education Agency as an accrediting entity for Catholic schools. In addition to a well-rounded college preparatory curriculum, St. Augustine School offers a competitive sports program and many clubs and activities for its students. In addition to this, students are expected to participate in service activities on campus and in the community as well. |
