ST. ROSE OF LIMA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL |
|
St. Rose of Lima Catholic School was opened by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet from St. Louis, Missouri, in August, 1948. This was at the request of Bishop Byrne of the Diocese of Galveston-Houston. The enrollment increased steadily. In August, 1969, St. Rose of Lima’s sixth, seventh, and eighth grades were consolidated with those of St. Charles, All Saints, and Assumption schools to form the Northwest Junior High School, soon named Seton Catholic Junior High. Seton and St. Charles combined to form a new Assumption School in 2009.
At that time, we solicited the Superintendent and the Cardinal for consideration to extend instruction into the grades of 6-7-8 and host a Middle School here on our campus. Permission was granted in January of 2010 for a new 6th grade class to begin in the fall. We are grateful for the accommodation and, from here forward, we will increase the school one grade a year to 8th grade in the Fall of 2012 with our first graduating 8th grade in May of 2013.
