Testimonials

"Kindergarten through 8th grade is an incredibly important time in a child's life. These are the years you build a solid foundation and moral compass for the rest of your life. My time at SSPP provided me with this critical foundation comprised of strong values, faith, work ethic, and education, which were reinforced at home and at my SSPP friends' homes.

As a 31 year old, husband and new father of a 10 month old little girl, I can’t help but reflect on the blessings I've had in my life and the foundation my parents provided me by sending me to SSPP. I'm forever thankful for the role SSPP played in my childhood and for setting me up to handle all of life's successes and failures."
Mike Massa ’99

“We transferred five children into SS Peter and Paul School and are very happy we did. Previously they were either at another Catholic school or home schooled. We came here because the academics are rigorous, the school's size allows ample opportunities to form well-rounded kids through extracurriculars, and the Catholic faith is taught with joy and clarity in the parish and the school alike.”
Mike & Kathy Aabram

“Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School has provided an excellent foundation for our children because of both the strong academic curriculum and the teaching of Catholic values. As parents, we are happy with how well prepared they were for high school.”
Jim and Jane McGrail

“When my daughter turned 4, I knew it was time to start to think about kindergarten. We wanted an environment that supported our child’s growth in all areas of her being – spiritual, academic and personal. We were grateful to find Saints Peter and Paul School. A community that reminded me of fond memories of Catholic school and a place where she could learn to thrive in the modern environment we live in today.”
Denise Petty

“The primary reason we chose SSPP School is because we want our daughter to have the best Catholic education. Daily religion classes, weekly mass, Christmas and Easter Programs, Reconciliation, the Trinity Pledge, Benediction and Stations of the Cross as well as excellent academics, set SSPP School apart from other schools. Our priests, teachers and staff are our extended family. We are so blessed to be a part of SSPP School.”
John and Mary Beth Zabinski

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the school hours?

Where is the school entrance?

Will my child attend Mass during school hours?

What if I work full time and need after-school care?

You are not alone! For many Saints Peter and Paul parents, their greatest concern is where their child will stay after school. Parents at Saints Peter and Paul school have a unique alternative to solve that problem – the school’s Extended Day Program. Extended Day offers a safe and secure environment for children in grades K – 8. For the students, after school time in the Extended Day Program is fun and educational. Extended Day provides gym/play time, homework time, a snack and a variety of enrichment activities each afternoon. The uniqueness of the program lies in the fact that it is a self-supporting program. Cost for the program is $20/day/child with a yearly registration fee of $25 per family. Acceptance into the program is on a first-come, first-served basis while offering a choice of daily/weekly or monthly registration.
