SAINT ANTHONY'S HIGH SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT ALUMNI ...

academics, lacrosse and music, I could not have asked for
more. I will miss most my lacrosse team and coaches, my
good friendships I have developed, Brother Gary and
the Administrators.
Having been blessed with going to Saint Anthony’s High
School I had to take advantage of everything it offers. The
athletic program has built me up as a person. Making the
varsity lacrosse team my sophomore year, I have never felt
more comfortable than on the field at practice with my
team and good friends.
I am grateful for having the support from Saint Anthony’s
High School as I graduate to attend SUNY Cortland to play
lacrosse and study business and music. Saint Anthony’s is a
school that opens many doors for your future. I will always
remember and cherish the memories I have made during
my high school experience.

The thing that I will miss most about Saint Anthony’s is
the sense of community that comes with our great school.
Even though Saint Anthony’s is a big school we are a tightly
knit family and you see it everywhere. It’s cool to see the
alumni come back because they are so proud that they
attended Saint Anthony’s.
I’m also going to miss being here because of the caring
way we are treated. The faculty expects the best from us
and pushes us to do even better for us to be the best we
can be. They have encouraged me to put my heart into
everything I do no matter what it is.
There is a tremendous amount of heart, pride and spirit
that I think makes Saint Anthony’s different from any other
school. For me, I will always bleed Black and Gold.
I will be attending Sacred Heart University next year. I am
going to miss all the people here and especially all of my
friends, but I know that we will be friends forever.

It is a difficult question to answer, not because I can’t
think of what I will miss, but more like what I won’t miss.
It’s hard to imagine that three short years ago I was a
freshman just entering what seemed to be a huge school
with seniors that looked so mature, and now I am one of
those seniors who have grown up through my high school
career. Saint Anthony’s has given me structure and has
built on the foundation that my parents have laid. I will
miss all the friends I have made along the way and all
the faculty members who have helped me grow into the
person I am today.
Saint Anthony’s has a large student body and with that
they have an even larger amount of school spirit. Having
played Varsity Football I can verify the electricity in the air
during a home Friday night football game. Now being on
the National Honor Society board, I can see the other side
of school spirit: all the students on Student Council that
make the school run so smoothly. The school spirit I have
experienced at Saint Anthony’s is the greatest I have ever
seen, and I know I will miss it a great deal.
The structure and education at Saint Anthony’s is second
to none, and I will miss all the teachers and administrators
who have influenced me during my time here. I will miss
going to the soup kitchens with the Student Council and
NHS board. I think what I will miss most are the great
friends I have made. There is such a diverse population of
students. There are people with many different interests
that are really great people.
Saint Anthony’s has prepared me for the upcoming
challenges I will face in the upcoming years. I hope to
attend Fordham University or Bentley University in Waltham,
MA. Saint Anthony’s has been a home away from home for
me, and I know I will miss it when I attend college.

Asking me to pick one thing I will miss most about Saint
Anthony’s is almost impossible. I love so many things
about the school and I have had such a great experience
here. I have made some great friends, had some amazing
teachers and participated in a lot of fun activities at Saint
Anthony’s. While these are all great things I think the
thing that I will miss most is being part of a community
and environment where I am allowed to express my faith
freely and where God is at the center of everything we do.
I have always had a strong faith in God and when I
was looking at Catholic high schools one thing that I
particularly looked for was the faith community of
each school. I wanted to go to a school where I would
be able to share my faith and grow more deeply in it.
Saint Anthony’s is truly filled with an amazing faith
community. There are so many clubs and activities that you
can join that express the values of our Catholic Christian
faith such as Respect Life Club, TAU, Campus Ministry,
CARE, Catholic League, SOS, Peanut Butter and Jelly Gang,
Support Our Troops, SAVE and so many others. I participate
in many of these activities because I believe that one
important way to express your faith is by doing things and
serving others because actions speak louder than words.
At Saint Anthony’s I am also a Eucharistic Minister and
a member of the Gregorian Schola. These two activities
allow me to grow more deeply in my faith, especially
Eucharistic ministering, because I believe that it is a
beautiful thing to be able to minister to others by giving
them Jesus. While I love all of the service and religious
organizations I have been a part of at Saint Anthony’s,
my favorite is being a member of the Kolbe Council. I
have made so many great friends and I have been able
to minister to the sophomores by helping to plan and run
the retreats. I believe that is a great thing to do because
the sophomores are able to look up to us seniors and see
that they can make it through their high school years and
not give up. With college fast approaching everyone is
