MR. JOHN O'LEARY spent 20 years as principal of St. Anthony Catholic School, but his true servant’s heart has always shown in many ways beyond just his administrative duties. He cares so deeply for the ‘good of the school’, consistently setting a tone for what it means to be truly committed to SAS. His love for the school is evident; watching it grow, guiding it through times of hardship and times of success, and digging in deep whenever there was a need to make tough decisions. Mr. O’Leary was an integral part of the planning and the renovation of the junior high and main building complex, bringing a new image to the campus and moving it into the 21st century. Throughout his years at SAS, Mr. O’Leary has maintained the same dedication and diligence. The school would not be what it is today without his leadership, commitment, and service.

The parents, staff, students, and alumni of St. Anthony Catholic School, as well as the parishioners of St. Anthony Catholic Church, would like to extend a most sincere hand of gratitude to Mr. John O’Leary, for the example he set, the love he gave, and the
foundation he laid.
