Race for Education
St. Augustine Catholic School’s Race for Education was a HUGE Success-Thank You!
Given the generosity of our school community, we raised over $50,000 for the 2024-25 Race for Education that benefitted the students, teachers, and the school. Our 2025-2026 Race for Education kicks off September 29, 2025!
A Letter from Mrs. Emery, our Advancement Director

Be sure to check out our SAS commercial on the fundraising page to learn more about our why. Thank you for your continued partnership and generosity… you make our school family so special!
