At St. John the Evangelist Catholic School, we are blessed to educate the children entrusted to our care. We value strong, open communication between home, school, and parish, and are grateful for the gift of Catholic education.

Our goal is to support students in their faith development and guide them toward achieving the Catholic Graduate Expectations. We are committed to nurturing the whole child—spiritually, academically, and socially—within a caring Catholic community.

At St. John the Evangelist Catholic School, we focus on four important areas of student development:

Faith is central to everything we do. Rooted in the Catholic Graduate Expectations and the Pastoral Plan, our students participate in school Masses and liturgies at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.

St. John the Evangelist Catholic School has deep roots in the Weston community, dating back to 1853. Under the guidance of the Basilian Fathers, the growing congregation recognized the need for Catholic education. By 1856, children received instruction in the church sacristy, which served as the first school.

In 1921, a four-room modern school replaced the original schoolhouse. The school flourished thanks to the dedication of the Loretto Sisters (IBVM) and later the Faithful Companions of Jesus, who led the school from 1951 through the 1980s. Sister Eleanor was the last principal affiliated with a religious order.
