The history of hackett catholic prep

The idea for Hackett began when its predecessor - St. Augustine High School - had to turn away 200 students due to lack of space in 1963. A capital campaign was launched and more than $1.5 million was raised in just over a year so that the new high school could be built, opened, and dedicated on October 4, 1964. Some 4,300 families from area Catholic parishes were responsible for raising the money needed for the new building.

The new high school was originally named Monsignor John R. Hackett High School, after the longtime pastor of St. Augustine Cathedral, who served from 1923 until 1953. Hackett was originally an all-boys school, but it became co-educational in 1972. Hackett Catholic Prep currently serves 258 students and underwent a name change a little over a year ago. Its new name underscores the school's mission statement:

"To prepare students for lifelong success by promoting and developing faith, character and academic achievement in a supportive and challenging Catholic faith-based environment".
