St Paul School is celebrating 100 years!!!

St. Paul Catholic School, a member of the schools of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, has served the Catholic and general population of Weirton since 1924. The school was established from a need for the immigrant population of a growing industrial area. As the northern West Virginia town of Weirton grew into city status, the educational needs of the Catholic population increased as well. The current building was completed in 1962 and was designed with great foresight. The U-shaped design is perfect for departmentalization and preschool separation. The school is located at 140 Walnut Street where it is recessed behind the church and is safe and aesthetically isolated from downtown traffic and distractions. The school is a PK3 through sixth-grade Catholic Elementary School.

The preschool, kindergarten, and first through fourth are in self-contained taught classrooms while fifth and sixth grades change classes and enjoy the middle school setting that we provide. St. Paul Catholic School offers a well-rounded program that always strives for academic excellence while adding extracurricular activities in a safe and secure Christian atmosphere.
