Modernization

Saint Peter School is a vibrant community and responsible steward of a historical jewel on Capitol Hill, thriving since 1867 and providing an enriching faith-based education. Thanks to a group of dedicated parents and our incredible donors, an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is underway to modernize our facilities for the first time in nearly 50 years.

Saint Peter School's limited space has long been used creatively; this modernization takes our commitment to our students' academic, spiritual, and physical growth to the next level. With the support of our donors, SPS is adding to the existing L-shaped footprint with a new addition facing 3^rd Street and modernizing the existing historical building. Highlights include:

• A new, accessible, welcoming entrance.
• An elevator to ensure that we can accommodate students and their families, faculty, and staff of all physical abilities in all parts of the school building.
• A large multi-purpose space/gym capable of accommodating the entire school community at one time, which will allow for:
  • Assemblies, performances, games, and fairs.
  • Indoor physical education and recess on inclement weather days.
  • Lunch outside of the classrooms.
• Additional resource rooms for small group instruction, projects, and teacher workspaces.
• Dedicated classrooms for art and music to support humanities programming.
• New Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms with a private child-size restroom will better serve our youngest students, while modernized restrooms for Grades 1-8 will meet their needs.
• Replacing the HVAC system will improve ventilation throughout the historic structure and replace the old boiler.
• Retaining outdoor play space on the roof of the addition.
