Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.

The Cut - Stage • Studio • Restaurant • Bar

It’s a matter of time. 50 years to be exact. And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just at the live shows. In between they’ve recorded 17 studio albums, 7 live LPs, 3 compilations, 2 EPs, 2 DVDs, and contributed 40+ guest appearances on their friends’ recordings—all garnering 4 Grammys, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction, the ALMA Ritchie Valens Pioneer Award, NEA and Hispanic Heritage Foundation Honors, Congressional recognitions, plus countless “Keys to the City” and “Los Lobos Day” celebrations. And those are just a few of the highlights. But beyond all the hoopla and applause (and the source of it all, really) is the tremendous heart. Rather, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others, working for peace and justice, penning some of the most literate and important music of their time, transforming the hard cries from the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope, tales of common folk finding ways to endure. The young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul, R&amp;B, and doo-wop. Were cured through the African-American currents of the blues, jazz, and rock ‘n’ roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos, their songs have always glistened with the distillation from their Mexican and Latin American roots— nourished by Norteña and rancheras, buoyed by bolero and cumbias, soaring on the rhythms of son huasteco and son jarocho. Los Lobos have helped spread the rich diversity of cultures across every continent, throughout the global community. Kids in Antwerp now know about Aztlán. Residents of Luxor and Ghana are crooning Lalo Guerrero. People from Laos and Bulgaria are belting “La Bamba”—all thanks to The Wolves as cultural ambassadors. Talk about a living legacy. Talk about a productive half century. And in the true rebel spirit, they did it all on their own terms, against formula. For the ages. To our delight. Quite simply, they are one of the tightest, one of the best, one of the most prolific bands ever. And, amazingly, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it, quite simply: “Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Jr., Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, Steve Berlin.”

At some point, every homeowner starts asking the same questions.
Should we invest in renovations?&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/whats-your-next-move-should-you-stay-renovate-or-move-tickets-1993501188719?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"></a>
Is it time to downsize?
Would moving put us in a better financial position?
Or is staying exactly where we are the right decision?
If you've found yourself asking any of these questions, you're not alone.
Join us for an interactive workshop designed to help homeowners better understand their options before making one of life's biggest financial decisions.
Whether you're thinking about making a move this year, a few years from now, or you're simply curious about today's housing market, you'll leave with practical information that can help you plan your next steps with confidence.
<a href="https://null" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Click Here to Register.</a>
<h4>During this workshop we'll discuss:</h4>
• How today's housing market is affecting homeowners
• When renovating makes financial sense, and when it doesn't
• How to determine whether moving is the right choice
• What buyers are looking for in today's market
• How to prepare today, even if your move is years away
• Live questions and discussion
<h4>Who should attend?</h4>
This workshop is designed for homeowners who are exploring their options. You do not need to be planning to sell your home to benefit from this workshop.
<h4>What makes this workshop different?</h4>
This isn't a sales presentation.
There won't be any high-pressure tactics or sales pitches.
Instead, you'll join a small group of homeowners for an open conversation where you can ask questions, explore your options, and leave with a clearer understanding of what makes the most sense for your situation.
To encourage discussion and ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate, attendance is limited to 10 homeowners.
Light refreshments will be provided.
We look forward to seeing you.

Boston based trombonist Brian Thomas has been a crusader for funk, jazz, soul &amp; reggae music in New England and beyond for over 20 years. His vibrant stage presence and distinctive funky style are on full display whenever he is on the stage. Whether he is co-leading big band funk powerhouse BT ALC Big Band , with nu-jazz sextet Duochrome, or directing the rotating cast musicians that are the BT Allstars, Brian strives to achieve his goal to deliver positive music for your mind and body that keeps your head bobbing and your soul full. Brian has consistently focused on creating and recording original music. He dropped his newest release in May of 2024 “Live At The Fallout Shelter Set 1” with “Live At The Fallout Shelter Set 2” slated to be released July 5th, 2024. Both of these albums were recorded live on 12/30/23 in Norwood, MA and are an authentic presentation of what Brian does live on a nightly basis. These albums are follow ups to his debut solo album "On The Bone" released in 2023 to rave reviews. He also recently collaborated with longtime friend Jared Sims to release the Duochrome album "Sky View" . In addition to these recording projects, Brian and Alex Lee-Clark have released five albums with the mighty BT ALC Big Band, including the most recent one" Hearing The Truth" released in April of 2023. Much of Brian's early creative output can be found on the four albums released by Akashic Record.
