Learning is a lifelong journey that begins with the fundamentals of academic success. Since 1961, St. Peter School has focused on teaching core skills that set the stage for future learning- reading, writing, and communication. Students thrive in a close-knit community that’s guided by strong traditional values and a commitment to character development and personal responsibility. We deliver an exceptional education that shapes the whole child – mind, body, and spirit.

St. Peter School -
Our Past and Present
Appointed in 1943, Father Albert Gartland led the growth of St. Peter’s Parish, overseeing the construction of a new church, rectory, and eventually a school to educate parish children. St. Peter School opened in 1961 with 144 students, serving both the parish and its mission churches. Since then, the school has remained committed to academic excellence and faith-based education, instilling strong values and personal responsibility while preparing students for the future.
