Antonian Alumni,
In 2014, Antonian began its first and only Capital Campaign,
Our Faith, Our Future, Our Time
, in the school's 56-year history. The Campaign consists of the following three (3) Phases, sequenced for swing space, and creation of a scholarship endowment:
Phase 1: Academics -
Convert a building previously used for retreats and to house “The Brothers of Christian Schools” into the Center for Academic Excellence consisting of a library, learning center, and six classrooms. Completed on Sep 14, 2017 at a cost of $2.5 mi.
Phase 2: Athletics -
Phase 2A
:
Build a new multi-sport indoor center with heating and air conditioning; basketball, volleyball and tennis court; artificial turf for indoor practice; training and weight room; girls’ locker and shower rooms; and lavatories.
Phase 2B: Remodel the main gym, lobby/concession area, and restrooms.
Phase 2C: Construct a multi-use swim meeting and locker facility near the swimming pool.
Phase 3: Fine Arts -
Build a new 2-story building that will house drama, visual arts, choir, dance, and band.
Endowment -
Creation of an endowment to ensure Antonian’s ability to provide scholarships and need-based tuition assistance to parents who want their children to attend Antonian, but do not have the financial means to do so.
The need for Antonian alumni support is greater than at any other time in our illustrious history. We are at a critical junction in our Capital Campaign as we have raised $5.7M through paid or pledged funds to meeting the revised goal of $7.5M.
Seventy (70) alumni have donated $1,765,780 to the Capital Campaign. I often hear from alumni the reason they have not given to Antonian is “because no one has ever asked me to give.” In order to fill this void, we are creating a Capital Campaign Alumni Subcommittee to increase communication with the alumni about the Capital Campaign and make them aware of the needs of Antonian, how funds are being used, and why alumni support is so critical to Antonian’s future success.
We are searching for a high-energy Antonian alumnus to serve as Chair of the Alumni Subcommittee who will recruit subcommittee members and oversee their efforts. The main selection criteria for the alumnus is that they must be passionate about Antonian’s mission to empower students to harness the benefits of a top-tier education to help transform the world around us – through their families, their communities, and their careers.
As the largest and best Catholic High School in San Antonio, we absolutely must complete the Capital Campaign and build infrastructure that ensures the continued success of our students.
