St. Peter’s School

Why St. Peter's School?

St. Peter's School is working hard to inspire greatness in all our students.  Our plans for the 2022-23 school year are quite ambitious, but we are encouraged to see our new initiatives take root and flourish.

St. Peter's School is creating a place where every student is known, valued, and loved.  We respect the differences and diversity in our students and recognize that every one of us is made in the image and likeness of God.  

We are wholly dedicated to creating a culture of excellence and bringing out the greatness of every one of our students.  We will not sell a single one of these kids short - we want to make sure that every one of our students has the opportunity to achieve their ultimate success path. 

What's new this year? 

• Our students at all levels are receiving additional math instruction not only to close the COVID-19 learning gap but to set them up for success in advanced math in high school.
• St. Peter's has a dedicated, Gifted & Talented teacher who will identify and support the needs of our most gifted learners. 
• All of our tenth graders are required to take a college-level class, learning important skills that will position them well for college and beyond. 
• Our elementary students have scripted experiential learning every Friday afternoon comprised of music, dance, science, and resiliency training.  
• Our Theology students are creating personal spiritual development plans, reflecting on their unique gifts and skills and how to use them in the service of God and others.
• We have added Latin to our high school curriculum. 
• Our faculty and staff are receiving regular professional development on everything from curriculum alignment to Catholic faith traditions to social and emotional learning. 
• Most importantly, we are building a culture of excellence where all of our students are held to a higher standard because we recognize and expect greatness from each and every one of them. 

How will your gifts be invested?

Every dollar raised through Richland Gives will support our students in the classroom as part of the school's Annual Fund.  That can be through funding new programs and initiatives, increasing teacher salaries, or providing financial aid to families who do not qualify for state scholarships.
