About the School
- Paul Catholic School is a fully accredited elementary school that offers preschool through 8th grade classes in the best tradition of Catholic education.
- For more than 50 years, the teachers, staff, pastor, parishioners, and parents have provided the children with the foundation that they need for lifelong learning. They educate the whole child by focusing on the spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social development of each student.
St. Paul’s Capital Campaign:
- For many years, the hard work provided by the staff in maintaining the facilities allowed them to get by with less than perfect amenities. While the parish is grateful for this dedication, time dictates the need for improvement. What once was fresh and new, becomes old and worn and that is the case at St. Paul. They can no longer escape the effects associated with aging. So, parish leadership, working with PIVOT Architecture, created a master plan designed to improve facilities to meet the demands of our parish and school communities. They have considered needs for both near term and long term so they can be good stewards of available land and resources.
- Some of the big goals of this campaign are a new school activity building (with space for sports and the arts, cafeteria, kitchen), improvements to the 50+ years old church (entry and lobby, ADA, sacristy & vestry, new smaller rooms), and site improvements (landscape, walkway, and drainage).
