Saint Augustine's College is a Bahamian Secondary School for grades 7 through 12. It was founded in January 1945 by Reverend Frederic U. Frey on Bernard Road on the island of New Providence, The Bahamas.[1] St. Augustine's College is one of the premier high schools for education and sports in the Bahamas, with numerous honors and awards for the academic achievements of the institution's students, as well as several champions from its athletics department. Its athletic department's mascot, aptly titled "The Big Red Machine", is depicted by a red steam train racing down train-tracks. The Big Red Machine as of 2020 has won 31 BAISS track and field championships.[2]
