Welcome to the St. Michael's Catholic Academy Web site. We hope that
you will enjoy your virtual visit, and that you will leave with a
better understanding of the educational and spiritual growth
opportunities that are provided for the young men and women who attend
our school.
At St. Michael’s, we recognize that parents are the primary teachers
of their children. We are fortunate that so many parents have entrusted
us to be their partners in this teaching journey. We appreciate and
respect the sacred trust that they have bestowed upon us, as we seek to
honor our mission to prepare the whole student for leadership, service
and decision-making that is consistent with Catholic values.
The 2009-10 academic year is a milestone one for our school community. We are celebrating our 25th
anniversary as “A Catholic High School for Austin, Inc.” (the corporate
name for SMCA). This is a special opportunity for our school family to
reflect back with admiration and appreciation for the visionary
founders of our school and for the many benefactors and families who
have sustained us through our first 25 years. May God bless them always!
Recently, we have opened the new 24,600 square-foot Campus Center.
The centerpiece of this building is The Gloria Delgado Performing Arts
Theatre, a state-of-the-art performance venue with seating for 359. The
Campus Center also provides six classrooms dedicated to the visual and
performing arts, as well as a collegiate-style dining hall with seating
for 360. The Charles Wade Plaza provides an inviting entry to the new
facility, as well as an outdoor gathering space with amphitheater
seating.
This year also marks 25 years of 25 State Championships. Several
improvements have also been made to our athletic facilities to continue
fostering athletic achievement. Major renovations to our baseball field
were made. The addition of The Seeker Track to our campus has
contributed to the success Track & Cross Country teams which
resulted in State Championships in 2009. New goal posts and a new
scoreboard were recently installed as well.
These are exciting times for the St. Michael’s community. We are
blessed with a diverse and talented student body that comes from over
50 zip codes in and around Austin. We invite prospective students and
families to find out more about the St. Michael’s experience by
