The key goal of St. Patrick Catholic
High School is to graduate motivated, independent thinkers who are ready
for their next step: college. As a coeducational college-preparatory, private high school, St. Patrick serves students
in grades 7-12 in the Catholic Diocese of Biloxi.
“We dedicate ourselves to the ideals
of Catholic education, and we strive to awaken the minds and spirits of our students to the appreciation of the beauty of creation, the dignity of life, and the demands of social justice,” says Dr. Matt Buckley, principal. “St. Patrick offers a varied and challenging curriculum, which emphasizes academic excellence as well
as spiritual, personal, and social growth.” With an average American College Test
(ACT) score of 26, and more than 20 percent of the current student population achieving a cumulative score of 30 or higher, St. Patrick graduates are poised to lead their local and national communities. Three students have made a perfect score of 36.
“In 2018 alone, ve members of the Class of 2019 were named National Merit Finalists, and two members of the class achieved a perfect score of 36 on the ACT,” Buckley said.
The school proudly claims a 100 percent graduation rate and a 100 percent college- matriculation rate.
