Background
St. Scholastica was established in 1903 by the Benedictine Sisters. St. Scholastica was St. Benedict’s twin sister. St Scholastica's foundation is based on four pillars; prayer, work, study, and community. These four pillars are located in front of the school's entrance.
History
In 1902 ground was broken in the building of a new school, St. Scholastica Academy. September 4, 1903, the large bell suspended above the new wooden four-story building rang for the first time, indicating the beginning of school and the onset of a school legacy. In 2016, Benedictine Hall was transformed into a STEM Building, to configure new science and math classrooms.
