Founded in 1957, Saint Henry School is an integral part of the Saint Henry Parish community. School began with 196 students with 2 laywomen and 4 Dominican Sisters in grades 1-8. A kindergarten program was added in 1971. At this time the Home and School Association was also established. Portables were added throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s to accommodate the tremendous growth in enrollment. Due to this growth, a capital campaign began in the spring of 1993. Ground breaking for this estimated $6M renovation and addition took place on October 24, 1994. On September 5, 1995, students were welcomed back to school in the new Saint Henry School building. In August 2008, a Pre-Kindergarten program was added.

Saint Henry School is a Catholic parochial elementary school. Its philosophy is derived from the application of fundamental Catholic teaching.
The aim and content of our educational program considers not only the child’s mind and body but also, and most importantly, his/her immortal soul. To form true and honest Catholic Christians who will live in this world in such a way as to enter the happiness of heaven is surely the aim of Catholic parents who have the first and greatest responsibility for the education of their children. Saint Henry School is committed to supporting this fundamental task of parents through a school program aimed at providing spiritual, educational, social and physical opportunities for students to grow and explore their gifts, talents and responsibilities of service to the wider community.
Aware that the educational process is not simply a human activity, but a Christian journey toward the Triune God, students are encouraged to recognize God in the sacraments, in doing His will, in one another, and in the everyday simple tasks which they perform.
In its efforts for quality education, Saint Henry School strives for excellence in both its students and its faculty. Relying on the grace-filled cooperation of all, Saint Henry School aims to be the kind of school that provides for the Catholic education of the child in every aspect of his/her growth and development.
