St. Petersburg Catholic High School

About St. Petersburg Catholic High School

St. Petersburg Catholic High School has proudly served students for nearly 70 years. It began in 1957 with the opening of Bishop Barry High School, an all-boys institution. Just five years later, Notre Dame Academy, an all-girls school, opened nearby on 9th Avenue N. In 1973, these two schools united to form what is now St. Petersburg Catholic High School. 

Our mission is to educate students deeply rooted in the Catholic faith, empowering them to make a positive impact on the world through servant leadership. The educational experience is rooted in the Core Virtues of authenticity, compassion, fortitude, humility, and wisdom. 

“What makes St. Pete special is all of the outdoor activities. As an avid biker and golfer, there are so many opportunities to explore my passions. As a native Wisconsinite and 20 year resident of the Chicago area, I fully appreciate the opportunity to participate in outdoor activities all year, whether that is going to the beaches, visiting downtown and the pier, riding the Pinellas Trail, or camping at Fort De Soto, there’s always so many wonderful choices. “
