St. Michael's Catholic Preparatory School (formerly St. Michael’s Catholic Academy) is a private college preparatory high school in Barton Creek, a community in unincorporated Travis County, Texas (Greater Austin),[1] with an enrollment of approximately 360 students in grades PreK-12. It is within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Austin. In 2023, it was merged with its sister school, St. Gabriel’s Catholic School, as one unified school. However, both schools still keep their own campuses.[2] In 2024, the school (including St. Gabriel's) officially renamed to St. Michael's Catholic Preparatory School.[3]

The student-teacher ratio is approximately 10 to 1, and the mean ACT Composite is 26.6. In 2015 and 2016, St. Michael's won the Class 4A Henderson Cup, awarded by the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools for excellence in academics, fine arts and athletics.

In 2016, St. Michael's won four state championships: academics, women's tennis, women's cross country and men's track and field. In athletics, St. Michael's has won more than 30 state championships. Many former St. Michael's student-athletes have played, or are now playing, Division 1 sports at the college level including American football, baseball, basketball, track and field, golf, volleyball, cross country, baseball and soccer.
