Expand Service in the Austin Community

All School Food Drive

Together through the November 2022 K-12 Food Drive Regents was able to donate 1,346 pounds of food to the Central Texas Food Bank. Thank you to all who donated!

SOL Ministerium

Logic students spent their fall Ministerium Day providing food and necessities to the local homeless community and serving throughout Austin at organizations like Down Home Ranch, Angel House, Center for Child Protection, Hill Country Thrift & Senior Center, and Mueller Lake Park. Students also served on the Regents campus, picking up about trash and repairing and developing stone walking paths through campus.

Buddy Letters

In the fall, students K-12 paired up to write over 1,000 letters to send to nursing homes, Travis Country neighbors, veterans and active military in the Regents community, first responders in the Regents community, our local fire/ems stations, the local police substation, military on the border, and our on campus officers. We have received so many positive comments from neighbors and our community members in response to these sweet letters.

SOR Service Council

In the fall, Regents competed with other local schools to collect hoodies for Mobile Loaves and Fishes. We collected over 750 hoodies.

Build Needed Campus Facilities

Campus Task Force Report

In the fall, we released the Campus Task Force Report, the culmination of an 18-month process to develop the new Regents School of Austin Campus Master Plan. We invite you to view the Campus Task Force Community Forum that was held last semester to hear from members of the task force and architectural firm PAGE.

Capital Campaign

Next month, we will be launching the capital campaign to raise the necessary community funds to carry out the plans detailed in the Campus Task Force Report. Please be on the lookout for additional information on the campaign from Director of Advancement Kirk Avery. Our hope is that 100% of our Regents community will participate.

Develop Essential Financial Resources for Sustainability and Affordability

Annual Report

In December, the 2021-2022 Annual Report was released outlining the Regents revenue and expenses for the 2021-2022 school year.

Friends of Regents

Friends of Regents serves a unique purpose in allowing families to donate to one place and bless all of the faculty and staff at Christmas time. This year, families were so generous that two gifts were given to faculty and staff, one in December and one in January. Year after year, our employees have been blessed by this outpouring of love and appreciation.

General Updates

Campus Safety Chief of Security

We hired Chief of Security Collin Fallon to lead the implementation of our comprehensive safety and security plan. The purpose of this position will be to strike a balance between oversight and implementation of security while providing regular surveillance of our campus. If you have any questions about campus security, please reach out to security@regentsaustin.org.

Fencing

We have been blessed with a beautiful 82-acre campus, but it is also very open. We are currently in the process of obtaining a permit to install black iron fencing around the north and east sides of the campus. This will include the north side of campus that backs up to the woods and trails and the east side of campus that runs parallel to Republic of Texas Boulevard.

We are grateful to the Brydon family for their service to Regents over the last 25 years. Brydon will be transitioning to his new role at Second Baptist this spring. Regents will begin the search for a new Director of Athletics immediately.
