Our son loves his school. It's is so nice to drop off and pick up and be greeted by name. You will love it here! From academics, faith, compassion, safety, and care if that's what you are looking for, this is the place.

Erika Rosales CruzParent

Saint Patrick Catholic School is a remarkable place. I am struck by how many of those students I still keep in regular contact with. I have built lifelong friends in this community.

Emily Keller '84Teacher

We put two children through Saint Patrick Catholic School and we see the results every single day in their character, their dedication to their studies, and most importantly for us, in their faith lives.

Laura DoughertyParent of Alum

Saint Patrick Catholic School has given me footholds so I can strive for academic success.

Are you staycationing for Spring Break? Did you know that guided public tours of the Washington State Legislative Building, also known as the Capitol Building, are FREE, available daily, and open to everyone?

Future voters in the 4th grade recently took a civics education field trip. They learned about representative democracy and the three branches of government and explored the physical locations of the Senate, House of Representatives, Governor's Office, State Supreme Court, Rotunda, and State Reception Room.

Our 3rd graders are getting hands-on with math using magnetic tiles! 📏

They're building different shapes while ensuring each one has the same number of square units, reinforcing their understanding of area in a fun and interactive way.

Over spring break, learners can keep practicing by using square objects around the house—like crackers, sticky notes, or LEGO bricks—to create different figures and explore area in a real-world way!

It's time to build a ⛄️ snowman. No, it's not an April Fools Day joke.

Harper is having fun in the snow ❄️ in Utah! What's the weather where you are vacationing for spring break?

We had a germ-tastic time during a special visit from parent volunteer Mrs. Ignacio, a Nurse Practitioner! She came to teach preschoolers all about germs—those sneaky little things that can make us sick—and how to stop them in their tracks.

The kids were amazed as she sprayed their hands with pretend “germs,” and then they headed off to wash up. Afterward, we used a special light to see how well they did—germs hide in spots like under our nails and between our fingers.

We also learned that singing the “Happy Birthday” song while scrubbing helps us wash long enough to send those germs packing.

Thank you, Mrs. Ignacio, for turning hand-washing into a super cool science experiment! 🧼🦠💡. Handwashing is a fun skill that even the youngest learners can practice at home during spring break.

Staff from Saint Patrick Catholic School were honored to attend the Latino Summit: Unlock the Future – Embrace, Educate & Empower Latino Families in Catholic Schools, a two-day event focused on strengthening our mission, building community, and increasing outreach to Latino families hosted by Catholic Schools of Western Washington, Archdiocese of Seattle and the University of Notre Dame ACE - Alliance for Catholic Education School Advantage – Latino Enrollment Institute

The summit provided us with powerful tools and inspiration to better serve and engage Latino families—the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. Catholic Church and one that is still underrepresented in Catholic education.

We’re excited to bring this energy and knowledge back to our Shamrock community as we continue to welcome and walk alongside every family God sends us.
