St. Anthony Catholic School is the parochial school of St. Anthony Catholic Church in Broward County. Its name comes from the church it serves, and the school remains an active parish school at 820 Northeast 3rd Street, not a museum piece. Among its former pupils are tennis players Chris and Jeanne Evert, author Michael Connelly, Olympian Sarah Lihan, football player Brian Piccolo, baseball All-Star Mike Stanley, Medal of Honor recipient Charles Liteky and federal judge William J. Zloch.
The school stands at 820 Northeast 3rd Street, in the block northeast of St. Anthony Catholic Church. It is an active parochial school, so the grounds and classrooms are not open to visitors; the 1926 building by Francis Abreu is seen from the street. The address is a short walk from the church and the surrounding residential streets.
Among its alumni are Brian Piccolo, the Chicago Bears running back whose friendship with Gale Sayers inspired the film Brian's Song, and Charles Liteky, an Army chaplain awarded the Medal of Honor. Judge William J. Zloch and 1995 American League All-Star Mike Stanley also attended.
