St. Jude
Catholic School History
For many years,
St. Jude Catholic School has opened its doors to instructing children in the Catholic
faith and providing a quality academic education - both which give a firm foundation for
the future.
Established in March 1929 as Sharon Terrace School, the Sisters of Providence taught 105
students in grades one through four. When school opened that fall, classes expanded
to include grades five through eight with enrollment tripling, growing and building
despite the Depression. Today, St. Jude Catholic School educates students in grades
preschool, kindergarten, and one through eight. Enrollment has steadily expanded to
over 600 students, while maintaining small class sizes.
Eventually, St.
Jude's parishioners built a new church leaving the old church building free to house the
school. The beautiful Spanish-style structure now houses grades kindergarten through
eight, state-of-the-art computer lab, library, auditorium, gymnasium, and classes in
music, art, band, and drama.
