History & Tradition
St. James School has a long-standing tradition of providing a well-rounded education in a Catholic setting for 150+ years. The first St. James School building was erected in 1866 just west of the present structure. (The original structure remains at that location today as a private residence.) A convent/school housing grades 1-12 was built in 1901 on the site, which currently serves as the south parking lot. The present school was dedicated in 1957 with four religious sisters teaching grades 1-8. The current staff continues to maintain the tradition of providing high quality academic programming while guiding students in grades preschool through fifth as they develop into life-long learners of their Christian Faith.
St. James provides high quality and effective instruction aligned with the Common Core Standards, while guiding students in grades preschool through fifth as they develop into life-long learners of their Christian Faith.
