HISTORY
 
Southtowns Catholic School was established in 1983 as a consolidated PreK-8 school supported by Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. Vincent de Paul Parishes, family tuition payments and an established endowment.

On September 1, 2011, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and St. Vincent de Paul Church merged into Blessed John Paul II Parish. Southtowns Catholic School then became the  parish school of Blessed John Paul II Parish with the pastor as Canonical Administrator.
