Office of Student Life Looks Ahead to 2021-2022

John Huscher named Dean of Student Leadership and Development
High school is a transformational experience and one that St. Augustine Prep embraces wholeheartedly. Students are welcomed as “boys to learn” and develop over four years to exit as “men to serve.” In the process, these young men of the Prep find themselves navigating a time in their lives where they encounter academic, physical, and emotional development. This experience is rooted in a Brotherhood that is strengthened and fostered by the environment and culture practiced daily by students, faculty, staff, and administration.
Leading this effort is the Office of Student Life which has always focused on supplementing each student’s experiences outside of the classroom. Whether they are participating in a sport, meeting a deadline for a school publication, or learning the choreography for the school musical, the Prep’s diverse offering of extracurricular programs allows students to explore and develop their interests and talents in limitless ways. This year, the department will be led by newly appointed Dean of Student Leadership and Development and proud Hermits Alumnus, Mr. John Huscher ’85 P’18. Mr. Huscher’s service at St. Augustine began well before he joined the faculty at the Prep in 2015. The newest Dean at St. Augustine Prep has seen both sides of a Prep classroom first as a student and most recently as a business teacher, he has even experienced life as a Hermit Parent (Jack ’18). Combining an impressive professional career in the pharmaceutical industry with his deep roots in Richland, Mr. Huscher is uniquely qualified to uphold the mission of St. Augustine Prep that is rooted in the core values of empathy, integrity, and global awareness.
