Principal’s Welcome

Dear Prospective Family,

Welcome to St. Paul of the Cross Catholic School! We are thrilled that you are exploring SPC as a
possible home for your child’s education. For over 100 years, our school has proudly served families
with a strong commitment to faith, academic excellence, and community. As a Nationally Recognized
Blue Ribbon School, we are honored to be among the top schools in the nation and continue to set the
bar high in preparing our students to grow spiritually, academically, and socially.

At SPC, we serve more than 720 students from preschool through 8th grade, with three sections per
grade level and six thriving preschool classrooms. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our
comprehensive STEM program, one-to-one technology initiative, and rich academic offerings, which
prepare students for success in high school and beyond. Every student also participates in religion
classes, weekly Masses, devotions, and sacramental preparation—all led and supported by our beloved
Campus Chaplain, Sr. Pia, who inspires Catholic identity throughout our campus with weekly classroom
visits, prayer buddy teams, and thoughtful liturgy planning.

We pride ourselves on being a whole-child school, offering extensive opportunities in the arts, athletics,
and extracurricular activities. With over 55 athletic teams, a vibrant drama club that produces a spring
musical, and a wide range of clubs and electives, your child will be encouraged to explore and thrive in
their individual talents and interests. We also provide before and after-school care to support working
families.

Our Inclusion Team, comprising two counselors, six inclusion teachers, and two interventionists, ensures
that every student receives the support they need to succeed. Safety is paramount at SPC, and we are
fortunate to have a robust on-campus security team present daily to ensure a safe and welcoming
environment for all.

Whether in the classroom, on the field, on stage, or at Mass, we foster a community where faith and
learning flourish together. We are incredibly proud of the legacy we’ve built and even more excited for
what lies ahead. We can’t wait to welcome you to our campus and show you why St. Paul of the Cross is
the place to be.

We look forward to meeting you and walking with your family on this exciting journey.

With blessings and joy,
James White
Principal
