HermitFest

HermitFest is scheduled for Friday, September 6th!

This signature student and community event is back again, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you all afternoon and through the home football game against Paul VI HS. Our campus will be filled and buzzing with excitement, and the Richland Rowdies will be back, revved-up, and better than ever!

HermitFest on-campus activities, between the end of the school day and the beginning of the football game, are reserved for students and St. Augustine Prep faculty and staff. As always, our families are welcome and encouraged to join us for the football game during the evening.
