Mrs. Stephanie Choate

"At Austin Prep, teaching is a vocation grounded in walking alongside students on their personal journey of discovery and growth. Guided by the holistic values of the Augustinian tradition, students are empowered to pursue their purpose as thoughtful individuals prepared to engage meaningfully with the world."

James Hickey, Ph.D.

"A consequential part of our students' readiness is the unique formation they have received through the Augustinian way of life. Our students know veritas, unitas, and caritas. They know Interiority, to find the word of God in stillness. They know that they were made by God, for God, and that our journey ahead back to God will be a restless one."

Ms. Marla Pascucci-Byrne P'30

"There’s nothing like the anticipation that comes before a performance; the energy in the air is matched only by the spirit of unitas backstage. At Austin Prep, the arts are about creative collaboration. Whether onstage, in the gallery, in the classroom, or behind the lens, students experiment with different art forms, and share their talents with the community."

Fr. Patrick Armano

"Austin Prep is a mission driven school community where our Catholic identity guides us on our journey. This commitment helps us to advance our mission of forming the minds and hearts of our young people according to the gospel of Jesus Christ."
