Principal's Welcome
On behalf of the faculty, staff, students, parents and parishioners of St. Peter, I welcome you to our beloved school. It is an honor to serve as the Principal of St. Peter Catholic School. I am truly amazed on a daily basis the academic material our students cover, the knowledge our instructors impart on our young children, and the spiritual passion our community displays. From our humble beginnings in 1991 to where we are today, our Catholic school stands as a pillar in the community and continues to provide our children with the foundations they need for their future spiritual life and future academic career-we are "Building a Foundation for Life!"

I marvel at the commitment our families make on a yearly basis to our school, especially in these times where sacrifices must be made. Through the work of our pastor and parish, as well as the greater community of Beaufort, we are able to continue to provide a solid, faith-filled program to our youngest students in the Pre-Kindergarten program on up to our established students who are ready to graduate and move on to their next step in their academic careers. Our program greatly honors the traditions of the past as well as intertwining the state-of-the-art updates of today's education field. St. Peter Catholic School has been shaped because of the priests, administrators, faculty and staff members, parents, students and friends who have come and continue to come through our school doors.

Whether you are passing through, moving to, or have lived in Beaufort, I hope that you take an opportunity to visit with us and consider being a part of our program. Should you wish to receive more information about our school, please contact our main office. I look forward to meeting with you.

With warm regards and blessings,

Sister Judy
