Cascia Hall Preparatory School is an Augustinian Roman Catholic coeducational College-preparatory day school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is a member of the Augustinian Secondary Education Association. It is one of Tulsa's three Catholic high schools, with Bishop Kelley High School and Holy Family Classical School.
Cascia Hall was founded by the Province of St. Thomas of Villanova, of the Order of Saint Augustine, in 1926 at its current location, a 40-acre (160,000 m2) campus at 2520 South Yorktown Avenue in midtown Tulsa. [1] The school's first headmaster was Francis A. Driscoll, who had previously been president of Villanova College (now Villanova University). [2] The school is named after St. Rita of Cascia.
Cascia Hall was an all-male day school, which accepted boarders, until 1986, when it ceased to take boarders, added a middle school, and became a coeducational day school for grades 6-12. It has a total enrollment of about 525, about 45% of whom are Roman Catholic. Cascia Hall follows the Augustinian tradition of education, which traces its heritage to the educational philosophy of Saint Augustine of Hippo.

Fall Sports - cheerleading (middle and upper school), cross country (middle and upper school), football (middle and upper school), and volleyball (middle and upper school).
