The Saint Anthony's experience of our most recent graduates, the Class of 2013, continued in the footsteps of those proud alumni who have “walked“ before them. Five hundred and sixty–four of the graduating class received $68,899,007 in scholarships and non–need grants—an increase of $5,289,267 from the previous year. I am particularly pleased to share with you that just a couple of weeks ago Saint Anthony's welcomed six hundred and twenty-five young men and women as members of the Class of 2017. Our enrollment continues to be strong as evidenced by our student body of 2,518. Facilities at Saint Anthony's are among the finest there are in secondary education on Long Island. In the coming year, we will take another big step forward as our science labs are targeted for significant capital enhancements. The capital campaign ~ The Threshold of Hope ~ surpassed the $10 million mark on our goal of $20 million. Thanks to the generosity of our parents, alumni and friends and increased alumni participation the Annual Fund achieved a record level of support. Athletics continued to experience great success in 2012-2013. Girls and Boys Soccer, Ice Hockey, Wrestling, Girls Lacrosse, Girls Basketball, Girls Swimming, Boys and Girls Cross Country, Boys and Girls Winter Track and Field, Boys Tennis, and Boys Spring Track and Field all enjoyed memorable seasons. We are truly blessed in so many ways. We have much to be thankful for and beginning with our students, much to be proud of. With your continued prayers and support we promise to continue to strive to make a difference for our students, our Franciscan Community and our nation. God Bless you! Sincerely yours in Christ, Brother Gary Cregan, O.S.F.
