St. Stanislaus College On January 5, 1854, an educational environment was established on the Gulf Coast. This environment came to be known as Saint Stanislaus College. The concepts and programs of Saint Stanislaus have been successfully time tested for over 130 years. Through this accu¬ mulated experience there has emerged a basic phi¬ losophy — to motivate a student towards a goal of maturity, through a structured, learning environment and to provide the facilities necessary to ensure in¬ tellectual development. There are many factors which contribute to the full development of a student here at St. Stanislaus. These factors include athletics, academics, spirituality, and or¬ ganizations. All of these things contribute to making a well rounded individual. Athletics play an important part in that they promote teamwork and an appreciation for healthy living. There are sports available to students on a varsity, junior varsity, junior high and intramural level. Playing a major role in the development of the ideal student are the leadership qualities that a student attains through ath¬ letics. 4 Theme

The Academic program provided here helps the stu¬ dent to achieve the maximum of his potential. The cur¬ riculum is college preparatory in nature and is designed to permit the student to participate in required and elective courses that are within his range of ability and interest. The development of spiritual and moral values is very important here at St. Stanislaus. Spiritual needs are met through the teaching of religion, participation in student masses, and involvement in church-related and com¬ munity service activities. Boarding here is important also, for it teaches the individual to use his time wisely and fosters friendly relationships. Boarders experience the give and take of “family life” by sharing quarters with members of their age group. Students can take part in dances, fishing rodeos, skating, skateboard and pool tour¬ naments and other leisure activities. St. Stanislaus offers many organizations and activities including Student Council, Key Club, Prep Quiz Bowl, and others. These organizations provide an opportunity for students to develop their interests and discover their natural talents. The philosophy of this school has successfully taken students and offered to them the best opportunities of any educational institution on the Gulf Coast.
