All of my children are alumni of St. Anthony`s of Padua. They are all grown now with children of their own and still talk about the memories they have from attending Catholic school. It was the single greatest thing we did for our children and I recommend St. Anthony`s to everyone.

What a great place to grow your child spiritually and educationally! St Anthony`s School in Hereford has over the years produced some of the most gifted and talented children. My mother attended St Anthony`s as well myself and my children. It was a great choice for all three generations!!

We sent our son here. He loved Saint Anthony's Catholic School. We loved that it was like having a second family. We also really appreciate the fact that they have good Christian morals. The teachers and all staff truly care for the kids and love to help them achieve academic success. We will be sending our other kids when they are able to go.

I began teaching at St. Anthony School in 2013. Although I was very familiar with the school I am still amazed at the freedom we have during each school day to reinforce Christian morals, prayer, and genuine care for the students. The teachers are top notch and year after year we are excited to congratulate high achieving seniors that have graduated from St. Anthony's. I can truly say I believe the investment in your child would not only strengthen them, but the entire family, not priority could be greater!
