Cascia Hall is a Catholic, Augustinian, college preparatory school serving the spiritual, intellectual, personal, social, and physical development of young people from the Tulsa area in grades six through twelve.
The words under the seal “Veritas, Unitas, and Caritas,” Latin for “Truth, Unity, and Love” are not just words; they are the core values of Cascia Hall that are incorporated into every aspect of our school.

Cascia Hall is a college preparatory, liberal arts school and will not deviate from traditional learning; instead, to quote St. Augustine, “will always make progress” in best practices for our students. Students are required to purchase a Chromebook to use on a daily basis in class. We also strongly suggest purchasing a protection plan warranty (especially for Middle School students).
Although we don’t require a specific model, we do require it to run on a Chrome operating system and recommend at least a 32GB hard drive. We also recommend the Chromebook be new if the intent is for the student to use the same Chromebook the entire time at Cascia. Some of the aps teachers use require the student to have an up-to-date operating system, which may not be supported after 10 years.
Cascia Hall is a “Google School.” Our students maintain their school files on Google Drive, which is accessible from any internet-connected device. Students don’t need to keep up with flash drives or have to log on to an on-campus computer to get what they need. Google Drive also makes document sharing easy!
Cascia email is driven by Gmail, which is simple to use from Chromebooks as well as smartphones, tablets, and other devices.
Check out these suggested Chromebooks!
All new students are required to attend one session of Chromebook Boot Camp. Upon completion of Boot Camp, students will not only have practiced creating Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, but will also understand myCASCIA and Google Drive, including how to manage Google folders. Students will also set up their student Google Calendar and Gmail.

Student swipe accounts are a wonderful way to pay for anything your student needs at the library, dining hall, and the bookstore.
The best part is you don’t have to worry about keeping money on their card, plus you can view all their charges at the touch of a button on the Resource Board. Parents will receive a bill at the end of each month.
Students will be issued their student ID/swipe card within the first few weeks of school. Lost swipe cards may be replaced at the bookstore for $10. An additional charge of $1.00 is applied each time a student uses the account WITHOUT the card, like at lunch or break.
We encourage parents to have a discussion with their child about spending parameters for the dining hall and bookstore. Parents are not notified prior to a student making a purchase.
Taher is our in-house dining service. It provides many different food options for breakfast, lunch, and grab-n-go snacks. There are also multiple microwaves available for students who choose to bring their own lunch.
All students at Cascia Hall must complete mandatory summer reading requirements. Please review all materials for your child as ALL assignments are due the first day of school!
The easiest way to find these assignments is on the Cascia Hall Resource Board. The Resource Board is full of information for parents and students, so read through it and familiarize yourself will all things Cascia! Learn how to navigate to the Resource Board on page 14.
Students should bring a notebook and pens/pencils on the first day of school. They will receive their class supply lists during the first week.
For a complete list of supplies for grades 6-8, scan the QR code.
At Cascia Hall, each grade level becomes its own house a unique, close-knit community where students build friendships and community, and participate in school traditions and events. These houses are more than just groups; they reflect our school’s Augustinian identity and culture, offering students a place to belong and grow. Each house is led by dedicated faculty members known as “parents,” along with the grade’s elected class president and class representative. Together, they help guide the house in creating a welcoming environment that values inclusion, school spirit, and active involvement in Student Council and community-wide initiatives. Being part of your house is one of the many ways you’ll experience what it means to be a member of the Cascia Hall family.
Cascia Link Crew is a group of upperclassmen who help ensure Upper School students are connected with the school and their classmates throughout the year. WEB Leaders are a group of 8th graders who help ensure Middle School students are connected with the school and their classmates throughout the year. These two groups help organize events and answer any questions. Link Crew and WEB Leaders will be a student’s contact for all things related to Cascia Hall.
The best way to get up-to-date information on what’s happening at Cascia Hall is through our biweekly Bulletin, emailed every Wednesday and Sunday during the school year and every Wednesday during the summer. These Bulletins tell you everything you need to know, so watch for, read, and save these somewhere for future reference.
Parents and students are automatically on the distribution list for the Bulletin, but if you are not seeing them in your inbox, please email John Santee at jsantee@casciahall.com.
Parents and students can email any faculty/staff at any time! Cascia employee emails begin with the first letter of the first name followed by the last name, and then @casciahall.com. For example, if you need something from Jane Doe, her email would be jdoe@casciahall.com it’s that simple!
The Cascia Hall Resource Board is full of everything you are looking for, including dining hall charges and menus, bell schedules, exam schedules, and everything in between! Just log into your myCASCIA account and click “Resources” at the top.
Cascia has a variety of ways to find out all the fun things happening on a daily basis!
Cascia Parent Faculty Association (CPFA) is the connection between parents and the school. All Cascia families are automatically members! It is a great way to get involved and meet other Cascia parents and help with various activities throughout the school year.
To volunteer with the CPFA, please contact President Kristal Sack at kristalsack@gmail.com or 918.814.6593.

The Homecoming Dance (HOCO) is for all Upper School students! It is a fun time, and most everyone goes. The girls usually wear a cocktail-style dress while the boys wear jackets and slacks. Freshmen will have a parentcoordinated dinner for everyone in the class with transportation to the school for the dance.
The Sadie Hawkins Dance is in February, and the girls ask the guys. All Upper School students are welcome to attend. The dress is casual and has a theme, which is announced a few weeks before the event.
Prom is for juniors and seniors. Dress for prom is typically a longer dress for girls and a suit or tuxedo for boys.
Each fall, the Upper and Middle Schools host Club Fests for students to learn about the activities and clubs offered at Cascia. From chess to fishing, from pets to world languages, there is something for everyone!
In keeping with the Augustinian core values of Truth, Unity, and Love, members of the Cascia Hall community respond to the call to service. Christian service is a concrete way to put faith into practice. In addition to classroom work, service hours are a graduation requirement, and all students participate in Caritas Connection. Your student will receive this information after school starts.
Minimester is a unique experience that takes place throughout the month of January and is a chance for students to experience their potential future.
