About Us
At St. Eugene Catholic School, we are rooted in Catholic beliefs and traditions. Our goal is to help every student reach their full potential—intellectually, emotionally, socially, morally, culturally, and physically—within a safe, inclusive, and Christ-centered learning environment. We celebrate diversity and achievement as a community guided by the teachings of Jesus.
Programs and Student Support
We offer a wide range of programs and services to support students’ diverse needs and interests, including Core French, vocal and instrumental music, special education, English as a Second Language (ESL) support, Religious Education, school liturgies, and a gifted program for junior and intermediate students. Students also participate in charitable initiatives and fundraising activities supporting local and global causes.
Extracurricular Activities
Students are encouraged to get involved beyond the classroom through school sports teams, W5H quiz competitions, clubs, and leadership opportunities. These activities help build confidence, teamwork, and school spirit.

School History
Opened in September 1970, our school was established to serve families in the Islington Avenue and Richview Side Road area of Weston. Originally designed as an open-concept facility for approximately 340 Kindergarten to Grade 8 students, we remain one of three schools in All Saints Parish and maintain a strong connection with our parish community.
We are named after Pope Eugene I, who served as pope from 654 to 657 AD and is remembered for his gentleness, compassion, and care for the poor. Named at the suggestion of Reverend Martin O’Grady in memory of his father, Martin Eugene O’Grady, our school honours Pope Eugene I’s legacy through a commitment to faith, compassion, and service.
