Austin Catholic Preparatory School was an all–male, non–residential college preparatory school in Detroit, Michigan. Austin was "one of the city's most widely respected schools."〔Austin Prep School to Close Next Year ("Widely Respected"). () ''Detroit Free Press'', p. 4-A, 1 November 1977.〕 The school was founded in 1951 and operated by the Catholic Order of Augustinians. Its first class graduated in 1956. Austin was closed in 1978 due to declining enrollment and a desire by the Augustinians to sell the school's property. Throughout its existence, Austin functioned in an unremarkable, austere, cinder block and brick building on an eleven-acre site at the corner of East Warren Avenue and Canyon Street on the far east side of Detroit, adjacent to the Grosse Pointes. Its spartan facilities included a gymnasium, library, and chapel, but no auditorium, swimming pool, track, or football stadium. Drawing most of its students from Detroit and the eastern suburbs, by its closing Austin had graduated 3,212 young men. == Insignia and Motto ==
Austin's insignia displays a bishop's mitre at the top, referring to the episcopal status of St. Augustine of Hippo, patron of the Augustinians. Below the mitre are the words TOLLE LEGE ("take and read"), from an incident described by Augustine in his ''Confessions'' leading to his conversion to Christianity. The middle of the shield is divided into two halves: the right half showing a lily and the year 388 A.D., and the left half a pelican and the year 1250 A.D. The lily and pelican are perhaps borrowed from the crest of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, which stands on the site of the 13th-Century priory of the Austin Friars.〔(England: Cambridge. ) Retrieved 21 October 2015.〕 A pelican, which in medieval legend fed her young with her own blood and so came to represent the Holy Eucharist, also appears in the crest of the Augustinian saint, Thomas of Villanova.〔(Thomas of Villanova. ) Retrieved 23 October 2015.〕 As to the years in the insignia, St. Augustine arranged a community of prayer at his North African estate in 388,〔(Thagaste community. ) Retrieved 21 October 2015.〕 and 1250 is the approximate year that the Austin Friars were established in England, and thus in the English-speaking world.〔(England: London. ) Retrieved 21 October 2015.〕
