St. Anthony High School is a four-year co-educational Catholic high school known for its high-powered basketball program. The school is located in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States, operating under the supervision of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1997.
As of the 2013-14 school year, the high school had 224 students and 16.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), the school had a student–teacher ratio of 14.0:1. There were 59 students in 9th grade, 68 students in 10th grade, 52 students in 11th grade, and 45 students in 12th grade.
In April, 2017, officials at St. Anthony formally announced the high school will close at the end of the 2016-17 school year, due to a lack of funding.
In efforts to reverse the decision of the school's looming closure, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced a challenge during an April, 2017 appearance on WFAN. Christie is asking for the commissioners of Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League to each donate $125,000, in order to meet the school's minimum investment need of one-half-million dollars.
The St. Anthony High School Friars compete in the Hudson County Interscholastic League, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.
