St. Angela School has proudly served the Austin community for over a hundred years. Our hallways, our stairwells, our classrooms—all of them echo with the voices of generations of children who have lived in the tidy bungalows of this neighborhood. An anchor for the neighborhood and a safe haven for the children, St. Angela has a rich history and a determined belief in the future.
Everything we do at St. Angela School is part of one continuing story. Many things have changed over the decades, but we have retained essential elements that keep our past with us. The statue of St. Angela that adorned the church facade now stands in our gardens. The cornerstone of the church is part of the beautiful mural on our south wall. The bricks engraved with memories and expressions of gratitude now welcome
children and visitors alike to the Menard Street entrance to the school. This means that when the children enter the building after lunch or recess, they are learning more about their history, and about the strong tradition of community that is its hallmark.
During this Season of Giving, we invite you—whether you have direct ties to St. Angela or not—to invest in these children. It will be their story that determines the future of Austin, of Chicago, and beyond. They are part of our extended neighborhood—we are all family.
St. Angela School
St. Angela School has served the families of Chicago’s Austin neighborhood for more than five generations. We are committed to enriching the lives and futures of our children. We have a storied history and an extended family of generous alumni whose philanthropy provides scholarship funds and whose engagement keeps our campus beautiful. We are richly blessed and deeply grateful for the partnerships that have sustained us through the years. Now, early in our second century, we are proud to reaffirm our commitment to love and serve all those who choose to be part of our community. We ask those partners to recommit to our cause as well. Thank you!
