According to parish records, Saint Francis Xavier Catholic School was established on June 7, 1857. The first class was held in a building on neighboring property and was originally taught by a single teacher. The first one room school on parish property was built in 1859, at which time our first religious sister was engaged to run the school. In 1866, a two-story addition was added to provide an extra classroom and living quarters for the sisters.
A new school was built in 1924; a brick structure with four classrooms, an auditorium, and a basement. In 1957, an addition was made on to the school. The auditorium was converted into four classrooms, and a kitchen and a gymnasium were added.
