“St. Augustine’s, through the dedication and warmth of its teaching staff, provides an excellent educational foundation for my daughters, who are graduates.  Equally important to me, is that the school reinforces what our family teaches at home: strong moral values, respect and the importance of education all supported by a wonderful religious environment.  My girls are happy, enthusiastic students and look forward to school every day.”
