The Antonian student is wholesome, one who cares about his/her peers and one who is grateful for the opportunity to attend this school. The Antonian student becomes focused on doing the very best and accomplishing those goals that are established by himself/herself, by parents and by teachers. The Antonian student is compassionate, seeking mostly to serve others and especially his/her peers rather than himself/herself. The Antonian student is respectful, knowing the proper time and place to be playful and serious. The Antonian student seeks opportunities and grasps opportunities to learn about leadership and how best to become a leader in his/her own way. The Antonian student learns sensitivity toward members of the opposite gender seeking to interact with and share experiences. Lastly, the Antonian student learns to understand his/her own spirituality and is strengthened by the notion that his/her faith is made more whole as a result of his/her daily interactions at school and outside of school.

We are proud of each of our students. Each has a unique individuality and each has unlimited potential. The high school years are important in that through these experiences youngsters are formed. Who they are today will be magnified ten-fold in the next four years. Our task at Antonian is to assist in their formation. As a potter forms his clay, we believe it is our task to form our children, in partnership with parents. We are not satisfied to simply allow kids to coagulate into an existence that the environment, in and out of school, will influence. We must encourage and lift up their spirits while at the same time being mindful that they are in their formative years and that as such, they need our guidance, correction and sometimes our discipline.

We believe the choice is clear - Antonian is the school of choice in San Antonio.

We do not wish to toot our horn. We do not wish to develop a dynamic where we put down others to make ourselves feel more superior. We simply wish to do the best we can to serve our students and to let people know that your children are in the best hands possible. Their minds and hearts will be filled with the joy of Christ.

Some come to know their God during their high school years. For others it takes a little longer. Our perspective over the last thirty plus years has not changed. Young people are people of faith. Their philosophical base - the necessary ingredients needed to succeed and become - is solidified throughout their school years.

The more we can touch their hearts and enter that special place within their hearts, the fuller their lives will be - for it is within their hearts that the soul resides.

AMEN

CAMPUS MINISTRY

The Campus Ministry program creates authentic experiences in Christian community among and for students, faculty and staff. It is a program of liturgical, pastoral, and educational services that gives witness to the Gospel message. By integrating the school's mission and philosophy with community service, campus ministry enables and promotes an environment for members of the school community.

There are several schoolwide liturgies each year: the Opening of School mass, All Saints Day mass, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the Celebration of Peace Service, Ash Wednesday service, Lenten Masses, Junior Ring Mass,  NHS Mass, Last Senior Mass and the End of the Year Mass and other Masses. In addition, there is the Baccalaureate Mass for graduating seniors. There are also two family Masses - the Father/Daughter Mass and the Mother/Son Mass. 

The Christian community service requirement is 100 hours over the course of a students four years at Antonian. Students are informed of available opportunities to volunteer through announcements, newsletters and informal dialogues with the chaplain. In addition, homerooms and clubs sponsor community service activities to encourage and direct students to volunteer.

The retreat program has extensive offerings for students to examine their faith life in a safe and nurturing environment. Each ninth grade student attends a retreat in the fall, then as sophomores, they also attend a retreat in the fall. In addition to these two retreats, students attend retreats as juniors and seniors.
