Coming 2026: A New Chapter for Saint Patrick Academy

A new space is on the horizon, and it is built for the way our students learn, grow, and thrive.

In 2026, Saint Patrick Academy will open a new Library and Student Services Center, a welcoming hub designed to serve every child and strengthen the heart of our school. More than shelves and study tables, this addition will be a place for curiosity, quiet focus, collaboration, and the support that helps students flourish.

Rooted in our Catholic tradition and thoughtfully lived forward, this project will expand what we can offer our students today, while building what they will need for tomorrow.

A Space Built Around Students

The Need Today

Saint Patrick Academy’s library has evolved to meet growing academic and student support needs, but the current space can no longer serve our students well.

  • The existing library does not provide sufficient space for all 260 students

  • Library areas are frequently repurposed for tutoring, offices, and meetings

  • Makeshift workspaces limit access to books, quiet study, and collaboration

  • Growing demand for literacy support, small-group instruction, and programming exceeds current capacity

How We Meet Students Where They Are

At Saint Patrick Academy, student progress is monitored intentionally and continuously. Space matters because this work happens every day.

  • All K–5 students are assessed three times per year in reading

  • All K–8 students are assessed three times per year in math

  • Teachers and specialists use data and observation to tailor instruction

  • Weekly student services meetings review the progress of every student

  • Continuous collaboration ensures no child is overlooked

Who This Space Serves

Our students’ needs are diverse, and many require dedicated, appropriate environments to thrive.

  • Approximately 20% of students have identified learning needs

  • About 35% of students receive academic services or modifications

  • Current spaces limit privacy and effectiveness for student support

  • Quiet, purpose-built rooms are essential for reading intervention, counseling, and confidential services

What This Space Makes Possible

The Library and Student Services Center is designed to support both academic growth and student well-being.

  • Dedicated areas for reading intervention and small-group instruction

  • Quiet rooms for one-on-one support and confidential meetings

  • Purpose-built spaces for student services collaboration and planning

  • A library that can function fully as a library, supporting literacy, curiosity, and connection
