Augustinian Academy, Catholic educational institution in Grymes Hill, Staten Island, United States
The Augustinian Academy building sits upon a 16-acre property on Howard Avenue, featuring classical architectural elements from the 1920s educational structures.
The academy opened in 1899 as the Catholic High School of Richmond Borough and moved to Grymes Hill in 1926, operating until its closure in 1969.
Throughout its existence, the academy graduated 1,348 men and prepared 250 individuals for priesthood in the Augustinian order, shaping local Catholic education.
The former location on Grymes Hill was renamed Augustinian Academy Way in 2009, commemorating its educational legacy in Staten Island.
The institution received an American flag and 100-foot flagpole from the Ancient Order of Hibernians to mark its tenth anniversary in 1909.
