St. Paul Catholic School at 1755 W. Harrison Blvd., Valparaiso, IN 46385 US - History of Saint Paul Catholic School

In 1988 the last two nuns left the school. Saint Paul Catholic School remains blessed with dedicated priests whose preaching, teaching, presence, and leadership in the school community have enhanced the students' spiritual development and connection to the Church. Due to the strong support of parents, school board members, parishioners, and a dedicated staff, we offer over 390 students a faith-centered academic curriculum.

Saint Paul Catholic School has a reputation in the Valparaiso community for setting high expectations, fostering leadership skills, and building a strong foundation of Catholic/Christian values. SPCS has strong collaborative relationships with many local organizations including Valparaiso Community Schools, Valparaiso University, the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club, and the Valparaiso Public Library.

Saint Paul Catholic School offers a creative balance of information and formation. While many things have changed, the reason for our existence remains the same: the integration of gospel values into the curriculum and daily school life. A solid foundation of faith and academics allows students and faculty to reflect, pray, and worship together as they engage in the educational process.

The Education Center, located on the Saint Paul Catholic Church campus on Harrison Boulevard, houses Saint Paul Catholic School, Religious Education, and LIFE TEEN. It serves the entire parish by hosting parish events, recreational opportunities, parish ministry meetings, and educational opportunities. This also enhances the learning experience by being visibly and physically closer to our spiritual foundation, the Church.
