A high-quality education in a safe and nurturing environment is one of the most important things
that we can provide a child. Here at Sts. Peter & Paul, we strive to educate the whole child - mind, body and
spirit. Children of all faiths and backgrounds excel in our caring and academically challenging environment. Educational progress is measured
through daily assessment and Iowa Basic Exams. Currently our seventh graders test in the top one-third on
the national average. Our small classes allow for individualized education and an in-depth exploration of the curriculum.
Exposure to a variety of topics, people, and adventures all contribute to a fulfilling school experience.

hats and boots with your child

Important Medical Reminder: The flu season has officially arrived! We ask that you

return to school until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of a fever reducer.
Our Mission Statement
The mission of Sts. Peter & Paul School is to teach Catholic
Faith emphasizing a strong academic program, meeting the needs of the developing child physically, socially, emotionally,
spiritually and intellectually. This mission is accomplished through respect shown towards one another and an opening
in our hearts and minds to all of God's wonders.
A Brief History of our School
The
Catholic Parish in Doylestown was founded in 1827. The first parish school was established in 1862. The first nuns (HHM) were
brought into the parish in 1883. Sisters of St. Dominic OP began teaching at Sts. Peter & Paul in 1906. The Akron Dominican
Sisters left the parish in 1985. Our kindergarten opened in 1987. The school joined the parish in celebrating its 175th anniversary
in 2002
Catholic Education
in Doylestown
150 Years of Catholic Education in Doylestown: Did you know that in the past half
century, Catholic schools across the United States have either closed or been consolidated at an alarming rate? That is one
of the reasons why SPPS is so remarkable. We are a powerful witness to Catholic Education and the Catholic faith for 150 years.
The support of our parish community over many generations is definitely noteworthy.
This is why our work together
as school parents and parishioners is so important and why we should remind ourselves that we are simply continuing the success
and visions by those that went before us. SPPS stands strong, but we must never forget what has sustained this school for
150 years ~ beginning with a firm foundation in our faith and the many ways this is lived out. We see on a daily basis our
support coming from both school parents and parishioners. SPPS is YOUR school whether you have children in the school or not.
We, the current school community will continue to promote this connection for the sake of not only ourselves but
for the future SPPS students and graduates. We send a HUGE thank you to ALL Sts. Peter & Paul families. We truly have
a long-standing success story and how awesome that WE are a part of this 150th year celebration! It goes without saying that
without our school families and parishioners Sts. Peter & Paul School would not have made it 150 years. So at this time
of giving, we offer a most gracious THANK YOU!
We have an experienced and dedicated group of teachers and administrators. Each teacher strives
to create a supportive and challenging classroom atmosphere that allows children to reach their full potential.
Our staff and curriculum are certified by the State of Ohio. We have nine classroom teachers
and five specialty teachers: technology, music, P.E., spanish and art. We also have a part-time librarian.

Prayer for Our Students
O Jesus, Lover of children, bestow Your most precious graces on those
whom You have confided to our care. Increase in them Faith, Hope and Charity. May your love lead them to solid piety, inspiring
them with dread for sin, and love of work. Preserve in them innocence and purity of heart. Watch over them day and night;
protect them in all their ways. Grant that they may acquire the knowledge that they need to embrace the state of life to which
You have called them. Grant us a sincere love, constant vigilance and generous devotedness towards them. We ask this through
Christ, Our Lord. Amen
