Why St. Paul Catholic School?

Small class sizes, caring teachers, differentiated learning, a welcoming community, and our foundation in Catholic faith -- these are some of the many reasons why St. Paul could be the right school for your children. Here's what some of our parents and students say about St. Paul School. 

Marc, Class of 2024

     It all started with the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. I was in the middle of 4th grade at Maire elementary school and classes became virtual. My sister and I didn’t care much to sit behind a computer screen all day and not be with our friends in the classroom and on the playground.  My parents became worried and started looking for in-person school options. They were thrilled when my sister and I were accepted as 5th graders at St. Paul. I remember the day we were introduced to Mrs. Forsythe and Father Bilot.

     5th grade wasn’t an exciting year because covid-19 really limited a lot of things we like to do in school but we were happy that we got in-person learning.  I was also getting used to putting on a uniform every morning.

     Junior high has been much better and I have enjoyed many activities at St. Paul such as TAP, a fun way to know your classmates better and kids from other grades since this program scrambles kids from 6-8 grade.  I enjoyed the field trip to Camp Tamarack in 7th grade and I am excited about spending a week with my classmates in Washington D.C. in the fall.

     The teachers are really great. They prepare us for the future and help those who struggle in class.  St. Paul offers great advanced classes, for example, Math and Spanish. I have been lucky enough to get in both classes and thanks to great teachers like Senora Peace and Mrs. Winchester I expanded my knowledge in both subjects.  

     I have also picked up altar serving as another way to grow in my faith.   In 7th grade, we got a new teacher, Mr. Curts, who specializes in theology.  It is great because he has a deep understanding of Jesus Christ and how we should follow him. 

We are lucky to have a principal who considers the students like her own children.
We are also thrilled to have three great priests in our school and parish. 
I love Saint Paul.  I made great new friends, succeeded academically and enjoyed all the activities. 

Thank you Saint Paul

Robert, Class of 2024


      Hello. My name is Robert.  I have been at St. Paul since Kindergarten. I have three younger brothers that attend St. Paul also. I am here to tell you about St. Paul and why it’s so great.

     At St. Paul, the teachers have been amazing. They see how the students understand or how they would like to learn the topics. They are also very kind and go out of their way to make sure you have a good day, every day at St. Paul Catholic School.

     As a student at St. Paul, I have always found a love for Jesus, and that starts, first and foremost, through church and Religion class. For me in 6th grade, every day that I walk through the doors, grab my books, and listen to prayers, I learn about Religion, which hits about every topic imaginable. Every Wednesday and Friday for Middle School, we go to Mass, which is always the highlight of my week.
The school offers many extracurricular activities. Two of the many that I do are Boy Scouts and the musical. The reason Boy Scouts is so cool is because most of our service projects are for the church, so we can help out our community. The musical is always fun. You get to interact with students of all ages.

     St. Paul is a great school.   Thank you.
 
 

Catie, Class of 2023


     I have been attending St. Paul since preschool, along with my three older brothers who all went to St. Paul from preschool through eighth grade. Throughout the years, I have heard many people say that “there is no place like home,” and St. Paul is a second home for me.

     St. Paul Catholic School provides outstanding academics, all because of our amazing teachers, who push us to be lifelong learners and leaders. St. Paul has lots of classes, including many specials, Spanish, and Religion. Students can also take Advanced Math and Spanish. The teachers care for us so much that they arrange fun activities including TAP, the Tuesday Advisory Program. The main focus of TAP is to work together with students of different talents. TAP allows me to learn something new about my classmates each time we meet for an activity.

     St. Paul also has numerous extracurricular activities. Student athletes can practice teamwork and leadership by participating in many CYO Sports like volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse. The musical theatre program is another option which allows students from all grades to experience the performing arts side of entertainment and find the faith message behind each show.
Three of my favorite things about St. Paul are prayer, mass, and cursive. First, prayer. We start and end each school day in prayer, which helps us have the right mindset to be good disciples of God. Second, we go to Masses on Wednesdays and Fridays, and I often find myself taking in the moment and thanking God for the blessings He has given me. Following Mass, we have option to write in our prayer journals. I received my prayer journal in second grade, and my classmates and I look can look back on our prayers and reflect. Third, having the opportunity to read and write cursive is something that I am very grateful St. Paul has taught me. The other day, I was at volleyball practice and my coach was writing out a play in cursive. I was one of the only players that could read it because I had learned cursive in school.

     I truly wouldn’t want to be anywhere else because St. Paul has taught me so much. While at St. Paul, I have made so many wonderful relationships that will never be forgotten.
