Our History
Father Collins had observed and admired the work of the Presentation Sisters in San Francisco after the fire and Earthquake of 1906, which had destroyed both their city convents.
In 1924, he requested that the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary administer and staff the school. Mother Mary Carthagly, the Superior General, sent seven sisters to begin their work educating the students of St. Patrick Parish.
Sister Mary Attracta Birmingham served as the first principal of St. Patrick School and Sisters of the Presentation served as principal until 1983.
In 1983, the last Sister of the Presentation left the staff ending the Sisters’ sixty years of service to the St. Patrick School community.
In 1983, Sr. Jolene Schmitz of the Community of the Holy Spirit was appointed principal of St. Patrick School.
Saint Patrick School's primary building was dedicated by the Most Reverend Edward Joseph Hanna on March 24, 1925. The pastor of St. Patrick Parish at the time was Reverend Richard Collins. The dedication ceremony was unique in that it preceded the actual opening of the school, which did not take place until September 14, 1925.
The initial inspiration to build this parochial school had its source in Mr. Edward McLaughlin, a retired banker, resident of San Jose and a member of St. Patrick Parish.
Two weeks before his death, Mr. McLaughlin sent for Archbishop Hanna, of San Francisco and requested that his benefaction to the Archdiocese, which was in his last will and testament, should be used specifically to build a school for St. Patrick Parish.
The task of building the school and obtaining a congregation of sisters to staff it was delegated to the pastor, Father Richard Collins.
In 2004, the Daughters of Charity chose to sponsor Saint Patrick School as a new partner in their mission to serve the least among us. We are blessed to have their presence on staff and their spirituality to guide us. With the generous support of the Daughters of Charity and the Diocese of San Jose, Saint Patrick School becomes a center of Vincentian spirituality and exceptional academics.

Lokal na Magrehistro bilang palatandaan ng San Jose
…Noong 2004, pinili ng Daughters of Charity na i-sponsor ang Saint Patrick School bilang bagong partner sa kanilang misyon na maglingkod sa pinakamababa sa atin. Kami ay pinagpala na magkaroon ng kanilang presensya sa mga tauhan at ang kanilang espirituwalidad upang gabayan kami. Noong 2011, sumali ang Saint Patrick School sa Drexel Initiative sa Diocese of San Jose. Ang inisyatiba na ito ay nagbigay ng mga tool para sa aming mga guro upang simulan ang data driven na pagtuturo at nagbigay ng mga pagkakataon para sa aming mga mag-aaral na gumawa ng mga indibidwal na plano sa pag-aaral. Sa bukas-palad na suporta ng Daughters of Charity at ng Drexel Schools Initiative, ang Saint Patrick School ay naging sentro ng Vincentian spirituality at mga pambihirang akademya.
