Educating Scholars

St. Patrick Catholic High School prides itself on academic excellence. Our students excel in a faith-based environment which educates them with the appropriate values needed for intelligent and wholesome living; enables them to acquire the skills required for success in advanced studies; and challenges them to think and to act in such a manner as to enjoy life and to help make life enjoyable for their families and friends.  We are a college preparatory school and offer a challenging curriculum, but our faculty and staff are committed to helping students grow and learn.

Furthermore, St. Patrick Catholic High School holds membership in four STEM programs.  Students in grades nine through twelve participate in a 1:1 technology initiative wherein each student is provided a laptop to submit course assignments, access resources, collaborate with peers, submit assessments, and receive feedback from instructors. St. Patrick Catholic High School also offers seven Advanced Placement Courses where students may earn college credit while enrolled at St. Patrick.  These courses simulate the expectations of college-level courses and are recommended for students who are eager to challenge themselves.  These courses are highly regarded for their depth and quality.    

We proudly claim a 100% graduation rate and a 100% college-matriculation rate.  St. Patrick graduates are offered approximately $8 million dollars in college scholarships each year.
