We shape young people ready for college, career, and a life of purpose.

Saint Raphael Academy is a Catholic, college preparatory high school that forms young men and women of character, intellect, and faith. Rooted in the Gospel and guided by dedicated faculty, we pair rigorous academics with personal attention. Small classes, purposeful advising, and a culture of kindness help students feel known, challenged, and supported. We partner with families to shape curiosity, resilience, and service.

Faith is lived here, not just taught, through daily prayer, liturgy, and meaningful service.

Students discover their gifts in classrooms, labs, studios, and on the field. We welcome families of all backgrounds who want purpose and excellence for their children. Our graduates leave prepared for college and life, ready to lead and to serve.

Our Mission

Saint Raphael Academy is a vibrant community of young learners who are nurtured and instructed by caring faculty and administrators on an academic journey toward college. The Academy was formed more than a century ago by Brothers who followed Saint John Baptist de La Salle, the patron saint of teachers. We welcome all into a life of learning, service and community.

They are always receptive to exploring new learning strategies with me and working with the administration as a team to improve the quality of education for our students." Judy Baxter Vice Principal of Academics “ "My favorite part of being a student at Saints is experiencing how tight-knit the community is. The teachers here genuinely care about helping you grow and being surrounded by that support pushes me to do my best." Davian Cabral class of 2026 “ "I admire the life lessons that Saint Rays teaches its students. Saints is educating the next generation of learners and leaders who will be an asset to the world long after I am gone. I will be forever grateful to Saint Raphael Academy and want to pay it forward." Tom Brett Class of 1967, 2026 Hall of Fame Inductee “ "One of my favorite things about working at Saint Rays is developing relationships with the students, and supporting them over the course of four years is something I do not take for granted. Every day with them is a journey." Malaina Murphy ’85 Director of Guidance “ "The students at Saints come from hard-working families who sacrifice a great deal to send their students here. The students are very much aware of this, and it is reflected in their work ethic, authentic nature and character."
