Who We Are

Learn Who We Are

Together with Saint Patrick Catholic Church, we pride ourselves in being a welcoming community with active parent and parishioner participation.

The goal of each of our faculty members is to help their students develop into active Christians, active learners, effective communicators and responsible citizens. Our dedicated and creative teachers work hard every day to encourage, engage and inspire our students.

Our History

St. Patrick Church first opened its doors on December 25, 1891 on the corner of North Starr and Tacoma Avenue. In May of 1893, St. Patrick Church moved a short distance to North Starr and “G” Street to property owned by the Dominican Sisters.

What We Do

St. Patrick Catholic School provides values-based Catholic education with an emphasis on faith, service and academic excellence to families in our parish and greater community.
