Saint Paul School History
Raising Saints Since 1902
St. Paul Catholic School opened its doors on October 22, 1902, under the leadership of Father F. G. Lentz with the aim of providing a nurturing and faith-filled environment for children to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. The two-story school building was deemed fully complete in 1913 with the completion of the second story. At that time, the school had two classrooms, one room for the younger children and the other for the older children. Each classroom had one sister from St. Francis of Clinton, IA acting as teacher and approximately 70 children in total.
From humble beginnings, St. Paul grew to become a cornerstone of the community, known for its outstanding curriculum centered on Christ.
New School Building
On November 1, 1959, a new school building was dedicated and had a cornerstone ceremony. This is the current school building on campus. Sister Alfreda Moroney served as the principal at that time, and with the new facilities, the enrollment increased due to the confidence in the community in the teaching staff and the growth of the parish.
In 1965, a second-story was added to accommodate the growing enrollment of the school.
In 1970, the decision was made to close the 7th and 8th grade at St. Paul Catholic School.
In 1980, under the leadership of Father Pricco, the school underwent an expansion to add a kindergarten program.
