(KGNS) - Tuesday, Aug. 11, marks the first full day of school for students at St. Augustine Elementary, Middle and High School, one day after the Diocese of Laredo’s Catholic schools kicked off the new year with a half-day Monday, Aug 10.St. Augustine High School Principal Dr. Olga Gentry said Monday’s opening went well.“Yesterday was a great first day of school,” Gentry said. “We had nearly 300 students here at Laredo’s only Catholic high school. They were happy to be back on campus — reunited with their friends, their classmates, their teammates. It was a wonderful day.”Gentry said enrollment numbers are up across the elementary, middle and high school levels, crediting a voucher program that took effect earlier this year.“We do have some new students — welcoming some new families to Catholic education thanks to that program,” she said.The new school year also coincides with a new bishop at the Diocese of Laredo. Gentry said Bishop Gomez visited the high school the Monday before classes began to celebrate Mass in the school’s historic chapel for more than 150 faculty and staff members from all Catholic schools in the diocese.St. Augustine is also preparing for a major milestone. Gentry said the school was originally founded in September 1927 in downtown Laredo, adjacent to the cathedral. The school will mark its 100th anniversary next year and plans to launch centennial celebrations with its graduation ceremony on May 20, 2027, for the Class of 2027.At that point, Gentry noted, St. Augustine will hold the distinction of being not only Laredo’s only Catholic high school, but also the city’s oldest high school.Tuesday also marked the first day of school for students at United Day and Triumph High School. Students in the United ISD are scheduled to begin the new school year Wednesday, Aug. 12.For more headlines, click here.</div></body>
