On behalf of the St. Austin Catholic School Advisory Board, welcome!
As a parent of a St. Austin alumnus, I have experienced all St. Austin has to offer students and families. We are a vibrant, diverse community. Students experience academic rigor in a supportive environment that prepares them for success in high school and beyond. St. Austin Catholic School provided our own son with strong core academics, diverse electives including in the fine arts, service opportunities, and an outstanding athletics program.
As Chair of the St. Austin Catholic School Advisory Board, my fellow advisory board members and I are deeply invested in and committed to our school.
Our Advisory Board supports Principal Tara Cevallos and Father Jimmy Hsu, CSP, offering our personal and professional expertise in mission and Catholic identity, academics and curriculum, marketing and communications, development and fundraising, and finance. We are current parents and grandparents, alumni parents, parishioners, and school alumni.
Together, we are a diverse group of volunteers dedicated to advancing the St. Austin Catholic School mission: to prepare students to be Christ-centered, academically strong, and moral community leaders.
God Bless! And, soar Eagles!
