Welcome
Dear Families and Friends of St. Patrick Catholic School,
Thank you for your interest in St. Patrick Catholic School!
When you and your child walk in our doors, you will experience a warm welcoming community of faith, academic success, and joy of learning.
We are deeply rooted in a tradition of excellence and commitment to the mission of nurturing hearts, inspiring minds, and igniting spirits. Since our founding in 1883, our school is the oldest Catholic school in our diocese. It has served as a vital ministry of our vibrant and beloved parish, providing an outstanding Catholic education for generations of students in our parish and throughout the Labette county area through an environment that is safe, nurturing and focused on learning.
Our school is blessed with a superb faculty and staff who take great pride in their vocations as Catholic school educators. Our teachers know each child’s individual strengths and interests, and seek ways to inspire and challenge our students from preschool through eighth grade. Working in partnership with our school parents, our teachers strive to help children discover and explore their passions and talents that will make our world a better place.
The St. Patrick community is a vibrant resource that our school is both grateful for and extremely proud of. Parents, teachers/staff, students, parishioners, and alumni all join together in a shared sense of belonging and community. Here, school spirit is contagious! Each child joins a “school family” that participates in community service, volunteer partnerships, attends field trips and retreats, and has options to join athletic teams and after school programs.
Over a hundred years after our school’s founding, we remain full of hope and gratitude for all who have come before us. We stand on the shoulders of heroes and giants of Catholic education, originally serving over three different parishes, and six different school buildings, and continuing through our Pastor, Fr. Nic Jurgensmeyer, our tremendously dedicated teachers and staff, and our “Saints” alumni, who represent the values of our school through their lives of meaning and service to others.
We invite you to join us in this mission and bring the gifts and talents of your children and family to make our community an even better place!!
