Pastor

Welcome to St. Paul Catholic School!

St. Paul Catholic Church has worked hard during the past 50 years to provide an excellent education while forming our young people in the Catholic faith.  We are, in fact, the only Catholic school between Ocala to Clermont and Wildwood to Mt. Dora. Over the past few years, St. Patrick in Mt. Dora, Blessed Sacrament in Clermont, St. Timothy in the Villages, St. Mary of the Lakes in Eustis, St. Vincent DePaul in Wildwood and St. Mark the Evangelist in Summerfield have partnered with us to “grow” a superior school! Something we are all excited about!

We are proud of the achievements that we have accomplished over the years.  The test scores of our students, the history of the proven leaders that this school puts out into the community, along with our dedicated teachers and staff support our reputation as one of the finest schools in Central Florida.  The learning atmosphere here is one of compassion, Christian values and a desire to have our students become the best individuals in the name of God.

After you visit our school online, we encourage you to visit St. Paul Catholic School in person. I know you will come away with a renewed sense of hope and excitement for your child. St. Paul Catholic School provides every student with an excellent education by focusing on the mind, spirit and talent of each individual student.

I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev. Matthew Hawkins
