Quotes…
On the Completion of Phase I:
“St. Augustine’s has always been a first-class school.
These buildings are simply more appropriate symbols of the great
things that take place within the school’s walls.”
---Fr. Gary Sanders OSA, Class of ’67, Prior Provincial
of the Augustinians
“On September
4, 2007, when Saints opens its doors to the entering freshmen class
and returning students for the beginning of a new academic year,
they and faculty will find a vastly different campus than the one
that existed when school ended for summer. The completion of the
new buildings and the remodel of Vasey Hall will directly impact
all facets of the educative process. The rededication of the campus
begun years ago will give students and faculty more technology,
and more space to enhance the learning process.” --Edwin
J. Hearn, Jr., President of St. Augustine High School
“The opening
of Villanova and Mendel Halls is historic and exciting. These new
buildings will provide a beautiful new atmosphere for us to continue
developing the minds and hearts of the young men we serve. It is
that work of faculty, staff and students that happens inside these
buildings that will strengthen the tradition of excellence at Saints.”
--James Horne, Principal, St. Augustine High School
“It is with gratitude and deep appreciation to our Board of
Trustees, Father John Keller, O.S.A., Mr. Steve South, our donors,
Ms. Jeanne Schmelzer, of Netzel Associates, Union Bank, Mr. Steve
Chipp, executive director of finance, Mr. Michael Giffen of B&G
Consultants, DPR, our builder, and Mr. Tony Cutri, our architect,
for making our dreams become reality.” --Edwin J. Hearn,
Jr., President of St. Augustine High School
On Harmony
“A fundamental principle of art is harmony and it is equally
an essential in architecture. There must be harmony between plan
and design, between design and environment, and between beauty and
utility.” --Richard Requa, St. Augustine High School’s
original architect.
On Community
“…Saints has never been defined by its buildings. It
has been defined by the unique Augustinian ethic, by a broad-based
commitment to excellence, by extraordinary teacher/student relationships,
and by its commitment to the San Diego community.
The completion of Phase I and the Building New Saints campus rebuilding
project is likewise a recommitment to the San Diego community. It
enables Saints to continue in the inner city, bringing quality education
and life training to a student body that is elite in its accomplishments,
but diverse and reflects our entire community in its makeup.”
--Michael McDade, co-chair, St. Augustine High School Capital
Campaign.
Mr. McDade is a member of the Class of 1958. He is a distinguished
attorney and public servant, who has been associated with the school
for 55 years as a student, teacher, administrator, coach, and trustee.
On Gratitude
“…it is with heartfelt thanks to God who continues to
bless our efforts to prepare our students both for his Kingdom and
for the world in which we live.”
--Edwin J. Hearn, Jr. President of St. Augustine High School
