St. Vincent enrollment increase

St. Vincent de Paul Parish School is alive, well and proud of our accomplishments!

In a recent front-page article titled, "Private school enrollment growing in region," it stated, " ... St. Vincent de Paul School ... declined to divulge their numbers." We are very proud of our school and do not mind sharing our enrollment figures. When contacted by phone, the reporter could not, or would not, provide any information about how the facts were going to be used or give clarity as to the tone of the article.

In 2005 our enrollment was 359 students, and today our enrollment is 442. This is over a 20 percent increase. These numbers do reflect the addition of a 4-year-old prekindergarten program.

We are very proud of St. Vincent de Paul Parish School and welcome the opportunity to share our accomplishments with the community!
