Saint John the Evangelist School

A Brief History

Since 1907, St. John School has been providing a quality Catholic education rooted in a rich tradition and enduring legacy to elementary school students.  Served by the School Sisters of Notre Dame and dedicated Lay personnel, the school offers area residents a educational alternative. Our goal is to provide our students with a sense of community so they will grow into caring, concerned members of society. 

We value our students for their own worth and develop their potential to enrich their own and other's lives.  We maintain a nurturing atmosphere conducive to learning and academic excellence, enhancing each student's self-concept, self discipline and maturity.The school provides educational service for grades Pre K-8th. Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and First Grade are located at "The Little School"  which is located in the Convent Building next to Saint John the Evangelist Church.  Classes for Grades 2-8 are located at "The Big School" on Main Street in Watertown.
