Why do we have an Auction?

The Community Auction is held every year to supplement the tuition parents pay. As you may know, the cost of an education is more than the tuition parents are asked to pay (approximately $3,500 per student).

The Auction is one way (a fun way) we raise money to cover the additional costs. After expenses are met, all the money raised at the Auction goes directly to the school for a variety of uses: teacher and staff salaries and benefits, scholarships, curricular and co-curricular activities.

We rely on the generosity of our community to help us provide the best possible education for the young men at STA. We are proud of our school and the advantages we provide to our graduates. We need your help to continue our tradition of excellence!
