Oscar Mike: Third Semester Opportunity Fund
What is Oscar Mike? It is a military expression meaning “on the move to a destination.”
For St. Augustine Prep, Oscar Mike is our fund that directly supports the students on our transformational Third Semester experiential learning programs. Third Semester is the Prep’s signature innovative academic experience that fosters empathy and global engagement. These courses offer Prep students an opportunity to study in an immersive environment which may include foreign and domestic travel, practical or professional study, social work, or intense academic research.
Your gifts increase student aid, access, and opportunity to participate in these local, domestic, or international experiences. Last year alone, Oscar Mike supported nearly 50 students across 10 different courses!

Innovation and Experiential Learning Fund
At St. Augustine Prep, our mission is to “Set Hearts on Fire with a Passionate Search for Truth, Unity, and Love.” This mission drives us to ignite the spark in each of our students, nurturing a passion that grows throughout their lives. For many young men, this spark is fueled by reimagining traditional academics and inspiring them to think differently, preparing them to make a positive impact on the world.
St. Augustine Prep fosters a spirit of experiential learning, innovative teaching, and entrepreneurship during our students’ most transformative years. By integrating core Augustinian values with real-world applications, we provide inclusive, life-changing learning opportunities that empower Hermit Brothers to enhance the world around them.
Grounded in faith, these dynamic learning experiences have earned national recognition, establishing St. Augustine Prep as a leader in this space. We also invest in our most valuable asset—our people—by offering professional development opportunities to ensure our faculty and staff are equipped to provide the best possible education for our students.
Hermits Athletics Turf Field Project
At St. Augustine Prep, we are committed to providing our scholar-athletes with the best facilities to support their growth and success. The Multi-Sport Turf Field Project, anticipated to be located where the current varsity baseball field sits, will enhance our athletic facilities, allowing student-athletes to train and compete year-round, regardless of weather conditions.
This new field will accommodate multiple sports, ensuring our teams have a modern, high-quality surface to perform at their best. By supporting this project, you are helping us continue the tradition of athletic excellence and providing future Hermits with the resources they need to thrive both on and off the field.
Thank you for being part of this exciting initiative and for helping us shape the future of Hermits Athletics!

Year after year, the St. Augustine Prep community UNITES around a common goal of supporting the Hermit Brotherhood.
