St. Anthony's High School is a Roman Catholic college preparatory (grades 9–12) school located in South Huntington, New York on Long Island. The school was founded in 1933 by the Franciscan Brothers of Brooklyn.

History

Having come to Brooklyn from Ireland at the invitation of Bishop Loughlin, the Franciscan brothers served the Brooklyn diocese as educators and child care providers. The order expanded to rural Smithtown in 1929 with the establishment of Mount St. Francis Novitiate and Normal School, having acquired Mill House, an already old property dating back to the first half of the 19th century, in 1928.

Plans were made for a new Juniorate to board young men at a new location from the Order's existing Juniorate at St. Francis Preparatory School, then in Brooklyn. On August 31, 1933, ground broke on the new facility in Smithtown, New York. The ground-breaking marks the founding of St. Anthony's and its date appears on the school's crest.

Until 1936 freshman began their studies at St. Francis Preparatory School and only sophomores, juniors and seniors boarded and studied at the Smithtown campus.The attendance was modest and never expanded to more than 50 or 60 pupils during the early years. The first five students graduated in June 1935.

In 1949, the Franciscan Novitiate moved from Mill House in Smithtown to Wyandanch, New York and Mill House began to house the Juniorate and faculty. In 1957, the decision was made to expand the school's enrollment as a day school to accommodate a growing Catholic population on Long Island and in the next year, enrollment increased from 40 to approximately 125. The school continued to grow, both in enrollment and with additional facilities on the Smithtown campus until 1984.

On December 5, 1983, Most Reverend John R. McGann announced that, as part of extensive changes in the educational plans of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, Holy Family Diocesan High School, South Huntington, New York, would close in June 1984, and St. Anthony's High School will re-locate in the Holy Family facility. The two schools, once athletic rivals, were merged and the enrollment and faculty were significantly expanded as a private coeducational high school.

St. Anthony's High School currently is located at the former Holy Family location, at 275 Wolf Hill Road in South Huntington.

Curriculum

The basic curriculum at St. Anthony's includes required courses in Theology, English, Social Studies and Physical Education (4 years); Mathematics, Science, Foreign Language (3 years); Fine Arts (Health, Art, Music or Drama) (1 year).

The passing grade at St. Anthony's is 75% to ensure that each student leaves with a higher standard of excellence before entering college and a minimum grade of 80% is required for any letter of recommendation to college.
