On September 6, 1950, St. John the Evangelist School opened its doors to a student body of 189 students in grades one through eight. Six additional classrooms were added and readied for occupancy in 1956.

The St. John School Scholarship Fund was established in November 1978 to assist school families in financial need with tuition costs. In 1981 the St. John School Educational Foundation, Inc., a trust fund, was established to provide long-term financial assistance to St. John School.

In April 1997, the Education Commission approved a proposal to expand the school. In September 1998, leadership for the parish capital fund drive “Growing In Faith Together” (G.I.F.T.) was announced. The GIFT campaign enabled significant improvements to be made to the parish Educational Center through the addition of classrooms for double sections of grades K-8, the addition of a science lab, library, computer lab, and a cafetorium. The new south wing to the Educational Center was dedicated in November 2000 and opened for occupancy in January 2001.

A new playground was built by parent volunteers, dedicated and officially opened in April 2002. In August 2002, an up-to-date science lab was opened in the South Wing, and part-time counseling services were added to the school program.

A highly qualified, competent, and state-certified school faculty provides an “Education in Faith” to students in grades JK to 8.
