NOW ONE
Building on decades of Catholic educational excellence in Great Falls, St. Patrick's Academy proudly carries forward the rich traditions of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, Great Falls Central Catholic High School, and Holy Spirit Catholic School.
The Legacy of
St. Patrick's Academy
For over 75 years, St. Patrick's Academy has been a cornerstone of Catholic education in Great Falls, nurturing students in faith, academics, and service. Our journey began with Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in 1946, which laid the groundwork for a vibrant educational community.
Just two years later, Great Falls Central Catholic High School opened its doors, shaping the futures of countless students. Holy Spirit Catholic School's unwavering commitment to fostering compassionate and creative minds rooted in Catholic values has been a vital part of our shared history.
A Unified Vision
Together
Our Lady of Lourdes, Great Falls Central, and Holy Spirit each fostered unique strengths and close-knit communities, instilling faith in their students while promoting academic rigor and spiritual formation.
Today, St. Patrick's Academy embodies this legacy. By uniting, we honor each school's contributions and create a stronger Catholic educational experience in Great Falls, allowing us to pool resources and expand offerings for Pre-K through 12th Grade.
