OUR HISTORY
Our History
A Benedictine legacy of faith and education that stretches back more than a century.
Our Benedictine Roots
The story of St. Nicholas Catholic School begins with Saint Nicholas Roman Catholic Church, founded in 1861 by Benedictine monks from Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. From these deep parish roots grew a commitment to faith and learning that continues to shape our community today.
In 1923, St. Nicholas Catholic School was established in service of the Benedictine charism of education. Staffed by the Benedictines, the school was founded to form young students according to the Rule of Saint Benedict. More than a century later, that same Benedictine spirit guides everything we do as we offer an affordable, faith-based, and academically rigorous PreK-8 education.
