MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Just a Few Moments

Sometimes the simplest questions produce the most complex answers. For example: “Who am I?” We might be tempted to answer with titles or labels that more accurately describe what we are, rather than who we are. But just as Jesus looked at Peter and saw so much more than a struggling fisherman, God who knows us by name sees all that we are…and loves us more than we could ever comprehend. God just asks that we spend a few moments and try to see ourselves through the eyes of the one who created us.

Our Mission

Saint Peter’s Prep, a Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory school, holistically develops the minds, hearts, bodies, and characters of boys in becoming men for and with others.

Both enriched and challenged by its diversity, Prep is a community of learners seeking to find God in all things.

Our rigorous academic, athletic, co-curricular, spiritual and service programs foster in students a knowledge and understanding of the world and the courage to advance the common good with competence, conscience, and compassion.
