Our Community | St. Augustine Catholic School

More Than a School—A Family

At St. Augustine, you're not just choosing a school—you're joining a close-knit Catholic community where families form lifelong friendships, teachers become mentors, and faith binds us together. For 95+ years, we've been Barberton's Catholic school family, and we can't wait to welcome you home.

What Makes Our Community Special

Small & Close-Knit

With small class sizes and one school building, everyone knows everyone. Students build friendships across grade levels, teachers know every child by name, and families genuinely care for one another.

Faith-Centered

We pray together, serve together, and celebrate our Catholic faith together. Weekly Mass, service projects, and faith formation create a spiritual home for families.

Multi-Generational

Many families are second, third, or even fourth-generation St. Augustine families. Alumni return to enroll their own children, creating lasting legacy and tradition.

Active & Engaged

Parents volunteer in classrooms, attend events, and build friendships through school activities. Parent involvement strengthens the entire community.

Welcoming & Inclusive

New families are warmly welcomed and quickly integrated. Whether you're Catholic or not, local or new to Barberton, you'll find your place here.

95+ Year Legacy

Nearly a century of Catholic education in Barberton. Our history, traditions, and commitment to excellence create a strong foundation for the future.

What Parents Say

"We chose St. Augustine because we wanted a Catholic education, but we stayed because of the incredible community. The teachers genuinely care about our children, not just academically but personally. Parents become friends. Kids feel safe and loved. It's truly a family atmosphere that you can't find at larger schools."
