St. Anthony Schools Superintendent Fr. Chris Brey, along with Grade School Principal Brandi Borries and High School Principal Greg Fearday, have announced the hiring of three new teachers for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year.

“We are very encouraged by our enrollment numbers this year. Our Kindergarten enrollment at the grade school has blessed us that we have added a third classroom. It is wonderful to see our schools grow! I am grateful seeing so many families choosing a Catholic faith-based education for their children,” says Brey.
