The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston has opened a first of its kind Catholic trade school for high schoolers in Texas’ largest city.
Called St. Peter Catholic, the school officially opened this past fall with an inaugural class of 10 students. Having just completed renovations and moved into its 10-acre campus this spring semester, the faculty at St. Peter’s believe the school’s unique education style positions it to achieve “a high standard of education while focusing on character building and faith formation” to produce “highly qualified and motivated young adults, ready to engage the world.”
Billed as a co-ed “career and technical high school,” St. Peter’s offers students a hands-on, practical curriculum in the fields of information technology, education, architecture, construction, business, marketing, and finance, all rooted “in the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith.”
St. Peter’s stands on the grounds of a shuttered kindergarten through eighth grade parochial school in southeast Houston, a part of the city that, like the school, is being transformed as Houston’s population continues to grow.
