Welcome!
Choosing the school for your child’s education is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent. Their grade school experiences will shape their life choices and lay the foundation for future successes or failures.
St. Paul Catholic School’s philosophy, curriculum, and activities are centered on the teachings of Jesus Christ and that’s what sets our school apart from others. If you have children about to start Preschool or if you are new to the Highland area, we invite you to look around our website and discover what St. Paul School can offer your child.

On Friday, April 17, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker announced all Illinois schools will remain closed for the duration of the 2019-2020 academic year. St. Paul Catholic School will continue with our Virtual and Distance Learning Plan.
With peace and prayers,
Kathy Sherman
