St. Augustine High School

Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, godfathers, and father figures in the St. Augustine community.

Thank you for the countless ways you support, guide, encourage, and sacrifice for your sons. Your example helps shape young men of character, faith, and purpose, and your influence extends far beyond what can be measured.
Today, we celebrate and pray for all fathers, especially those who have entrusted their sons to our care.

“Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.” — 1 John 3:18

Happy Father’s Day! 💜💛

✈️ Always learning and growing.

Jim Horne, Paul Sipper, Dr. Will Raines, and Gary Osberg recently attended the House System Institute at Bishop Lynch High School in Dallas.

There, they connected with educators from across the country, shared ideas, and explored ways to strengthen community, leadership, and student engagement through the House System.

We’re grateful for their commitment to bringing best practices back to Saints as we continue building a strong sense of brotherhood and belonging. 💜💛

co-founder,

👏 Congratulations to Mr. Matt Linville, Director of Athletics, and Mr. Kevin Manley, Pre-Calculus and Honors Pre-Calculus teacher, on being recognized for more than 25 years of dedicated service to Augustinian education.

At our Senior Awards Assembly, both were honored by the Augustinian Secondary Education Association (ASEA) for their outstanding commitment to the mission of Augustinian education in North America.

For more than two decades, they have helped shape the minds, hearts, and lives of countless Saintsmen through their leadership, mentorship, and unwavering dedication to our community.

Thank you, Mr. Linville and Mr. Manley, for your faithful service and for the lasting impact you continue to make at St. Augustine High School. 💜💛

🏉🎓 What a way to close out their high school careers.

Just one day after graduating from St. Augustine High School, seniors Jameson Brown and Gavin Lowe traveled to Indiana with the San Diego Mustangs Rugby Club to compete in the 2026 Boys High School Rugby National Championships.

After winning the Southern California Youth Rugby Championship, the Mustangs advanced all the way to the national championship match, finishing as National Runner-Up after an outstanding season. The club faced the Charlotte Cardinals in the championship game and earned a second-place finish among the top high school rugby clubs in the nation.

Congratulations to Jameson, Gavin, and the entire San Diego Mustangs program on an incredible accomplishment. We are proud to see our Saintsmen competing at the highest level and representing St. Augustine with excellence both on and off the field.

🏀 Once a Saint, always a Saint.

The gym was full of familiar faces recently as several of Coach Haupt’s former players returned to campus to get some offseason work in with the next generation of Saintsmen.

Pictured left to right: Lolo Rudolph (Montana), Jurian Dixon (Virginia), Derrius Carter Hollinger (San Diego City College), Coach Mike Haupt, Jaden Matingou (Hawaii), Vince Ricchiutti (Wake Forest) and Ian De La Rosa (SDSU)

From Saints basketball to college hoops, these alumni continue to represent the Purple and Gold at the next level. It’s always special to see former teammates back on their home court, competing together and investing in the future of the program.

The brotherhood is lifelong. 💜💛

🎓 Where are they headed next?

Today we're highlighting four members of the Class of 2026 as they prepare to begin their next chapter. Congratulations to Ezra LaCoursiere, who will attend Purdue University as an Engineering major; Carter Jones, who is headed to the University of San Diego (USD); Garrett Nering, who will attend the College of Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona to study Materials Engineering; and Joey Handelsman, who will be attending Colorado State University this fall.

From classrooms at Saints to campuses across the country, these graduates are ready to pursue new opportunities, take on new challenges, and continue making a difference wherever they go.

Congratulations, Saintsmen! Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have opened exciting new doors.

The journey continues. 💜💛

☀️ School may be out, but summer is just getting started!

We hope all of our Saints families are off to a great start to summer and finding time for rest, adventure, and making memories together. Before long, our campus will be buzzing again with summer school students, camps, and activities across campus.

As a reminder, our Front Office will be operating on summer hours from May 26–July 31:

🕖 Monday–Friday: 7:00 AM–2:00 PM
🚪 Saturday & Sunday: Closed

Whether you're joining us for summer programs or stopping by campus, we're here to help. Have a safe, relaxing, and blessed summer, Saints! 💜💛

🇺🇸 Today we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their courage, sacrifice, and selflessness have secured the freedoms we enjoy each day. As a Saints community, we pause in gratitude and prayer for those who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as for the families who carry their memory forward.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

May we never forget the cost of freedom.

🏅💜 The Saint Augustine Medal is awarded to the senior who, in the eyes of the faculty, best represents his graduating class — a Saintsman distinguished by academic achievement, citizenship, leadership, and commitment to the St. Augustine community.

He must be a four-year Saintsman. And he must lead.

This year’s recipient is Devin Manns, recognized by our faculty as the senior who most fully embodies the ideals and spirit of St. Augustine High School.

👏 Honorable Mention: Liam Olds

Congratulations to these Saintsmen for the leadership, character, and example they have provided to our community. 💜💛
