Our Mission
A Christ-centered education that will equip children to faithfully serve as witnessing Christians and productive citizens.
Our founders believed in “A school beside every church,” so every child could learn what Psalm 78:5-7 calls us to pass on to the next generation.
A Message From Our Principal
Rooted in Christ, Explore in Faith, Soar in Knowledge
Dear St. Paul Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year! We are thrilled to welcome both returning and new families as we begin a year of learning, growing, and serving together.
Our theme this year is “Rooted in Christ, Explore in Faith, Soar in Knowledge.” Throughout the year, our students will deepen their relationship with Christ, strengthen their faith, and pursue academic excellence as they discover and develop the gifts God has given them.
It is with great joy that I introduce myself as your new principal. I am honored to join this faith filled school community and I look forward to getting to know each of you in the weeks and months ahead.
As principal, one of my highest priorities is building strong relationships with our students, families, faculty, and church community. I believe that open communication, collaboration, and mutual respect are the foundation of a successful school. I encourage you to share your ideas, ask questions, and partner with us as we work together to make this an outstanding school year for our children.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school at 402-372-2355.
God Bless,
Mrs. Paula Peatrowsky
Principal
