History of Saints Peter and Paul School

Saints Peter & Paul School officially opened in September 2001 with a pre-school, kindergartens, and Grades 1 to 3. This was only achieved after three years of arduous preparation.

Under the guidance of Father Foley, a survey was taken, a capital campaign begun, and selected groups were formed for their expertise and input, with the idea of building a school for the parish.

Miss Nancy Heim was chosen by the parish school committee to be the first principal. Nancy had experience, and a burning desire to meet the challenges of creating a state of the art school with a dream team faculty. Her input, grace, and determination were cornerstones of our school family.

A new principal, Mrs. Margaret Egan was selected and the school community thrived. The first third grade class will be graduating from eight grade in June, 2007. The Saints Peter & Paul School community continues to grow and strive for excellence in education under God’s watchful hand.

MISSION STATEMENT

“Hearts To Love, Hands To Serve”

Accepting the privilege and the challenge of our call to grow as a faith community, we envision our parish school as:

• a Catholic school community of faith in which all members are “woven” together—parents, priests, teachers, administrators and students—to live the Word of God.
  
  
• a Catholic school community strengthened in love and hope which fosters the growth of all students morally and spiritually, academically and intellectually, socially, physically and emotionally.
  
  
• a Catholic school community of vibrant students, which enables harmonious relationships with themselves, their God, their families and the world.

We are a faith community who teaches the message of Christ by being a living Witness to Christian ideals, virtues and values that are cultivated and practiced.
We pray for God’s guidance and strength to continue to respond to this call to be a faith-filled community.
