What is coming up?

Each Wednesday during the school year, a blast is sent out with more events and more details about these events. This blast has information for the week ahead and our calendar has the list of events throughout the year.

We just completed our 30th year of Saint James School but our rich heritage spans over one hundred and forty years! You are always welcome to join us for some of these activities, whether you are a Saint James graduate or a graduate of another Catholic school, let us celebrate Catholic education together!
