Saint Patrick Catholic School, was founded in 1921, the one hundred-fifth year of the parish. Originally attached to the convent that housed the four Sisters of Mercy from Cresson who arrived that same year, and along with eighty-seven children, inaugurated the beginning of Catholic education in the area. On April 3, 1944, a fire destroyed both the frame school and Convent. Both the Pastor, Father Jeremiah P. Flynn, and the Parishioners, were determined to rebuild. A new school building, Convent and Parish Hall resulted in their dedicated efforts and all were ready for dedication by Bishop Richard T. Guilfoyle, January 21, 1945. In 1991, extensive school
renovations began, resulting in the addition of a new school wing of classrooms, and, a full gymnasium.

Saint Patrick School is accredited by the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, by the National Catholic Education Association and the Middle States Commission on Elementary Schools. Saint Patrick Catholic School serves Students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Our school welcomes all who are interested in a Catholic Christian education. Although the majority of Students represent three sponsoring parishes in the Blair County area, admission is open to students of all religious backgrounds.
