Welcome from the Principals

“…to know, love and serve God in everything we do.”

Welcome to St. Patrick School!

St. Patrick School has a long tradition of academic excellence. That tradition continues today as we educate our children for the world of tomorrow. Our children receive an education that nurtures their spirit and heart.

We are committed to the development of the whole child – their intellect and spirituality, as well as their social and physical development. At St. Patrick School we strive to help our students experience Christian living through liturgy, sacramental life, prayer, service, guidance, and most importantly, example. We foster a positive attitude toward lifelong education by providing our children with an atmosphere where they can grow and develop academically in a loving environment full of challenges, encouragement and enriching experiences. Each child is unique possessing special individual gifts and talents. We respect and nurture individual differences while developing every student to his/her fullest potential. We want our children to be happy children, who love learning and when they leave us, have a strong academic background enabling them to achieve
any goal they set out to accomplish.

St. Patrick School has a dedicated faculty and staff implementing strong instructional

strategies and a comprehensive curriculum resulting in outstanding academic
achievement. Our Science, Technology, Engineering, Religion, Arts and Math (STREAM) curriculum is enhanced by the variety of resources we have for our students. We offer special classes in Music, Art, Guidance Counseling, Spanish and Computer. St. Patrick School is blessed to have a daily Acceleration and Enrichment Program offering one on one or small group instruction. We have clubs for Chess, Art, Robotics, Math and Yearbook. We attend Mass once a week and students in grades K3-3rd take part in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program, a Montessori Religion program. Students participate in Physical Education daily and our 4th – 6th grade students participate in the parochial sports league competing in volleyball, basketball and track. The combination of our outstanding faculty and staff and the continued support of parents and parish allow us to promote high standards.

In addition to our state of the art Apple Computer Lab, we have Chromebook technology, Interactive Smart Boards, Virtual Reality, and Robotics for all of our classrooms. This technology prepares our students with 21st century skills, promotes and supports all learning styles and levels, lets our school connect with the global education community while developing higher-order thinking skills.

As we enter our 75th year of providing excellent Catholic Education in Corpus Christi, it is important to note that there is also a strong sense of legacy, community and family here that is unparalleled. Many of our families are second-generation Shamrocks and many of our faculty and staff have been students here, have had, or currently have students at St. Patrick School.

St. Patrick School is a welcoming and safe community that provides an exceptional education in a faith-filled environment. Please refer to all of our upcoming events and happenings in the church bulletin. You may also visit us online at facebook.com/stpatrickschool.

Thank you for all of your love and support and helping our school fulfill our Mission. The mission of St. Patrick Catholic School is to educate our children to know, love and serve God through religion, academics, fine arts, physical activities and community service.

Please come and join us, we would love to have you as part of our St. Patrick Family.
