Introducing the Anthony and Joyce Kasper Scholarship
Tim and Tom Kasper visited campus to meet with President Allison Hoover and establish a new scholarship for incoming freshmen in honor of their parents’ legacy.
The Austin Catholic community extends sincere gratitude to the Kasper family for this meaningful investment in future Crusaders. Their generosity will help support the school’s Augustinian mission by expanding access to an education rooted in faith, scholarship, community and service.
Their father, Anthony Kasper, a proud member of the Class of 1956, leaves a lasting legacy that will continue to shape future generations of Austin Catholic students.
Here, President Hoover holds the Mass card of Friar Kasper. His obituary is linked here.
Back to the Halls Alumni Tours
A lot has changed since you last walked these halls, and President Allison Hoover would love to show you around campus. Friar and Crusader alumni are invited to return and experience the school’s incredible growth firsthand.
Your Austin Catholic experience carries lasting pride, credibility and achievement worth sharing, as we continue to build your legacy!
Here Friar Bruce Fleury, Class of 1970, and his wife toured Austin Catholic on May 7 during a Back to the Halls Tour led by President Hoover. During the visit, the couple listened as Mrs. Hayden explained the 3D-printed prosthetic arm created this winter by the senior STEAM Team for a third-grade student at Rosy Mound Elementary in Grand Haven.
