History

In 1926, Monsignor William Barry and five Adrian Dominican Sisters remodeled five polo stables that Carl G. Fisher had donated to the parish into five classrooms and a cafeteria.

Due to the damage caused by the 1926 Miami hurricane to the school buildings, the school did not open until two weeks after the hurricane had passed—also, only 20 of the 150 students registered before the hurricane attended on opening day.

In 1927, two more classrooms were added. There was only one high school graduate in the class of 1927, 1928, and 1929, and only three graduates in 1930.

A $75,000 building permit was issued on May 31, 1930, for St. Patrick Catholic Elementary and High School—the first of three units of the two-story school building, completed in 1932, opened in September.

Accreditation in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools became a reality in 1933, along with the acceptance by Florida.

The last 12th grade graduation was in 1972, with 37 graduates. The school continues to provide education from Kindergarten to 8th grade. [1]

In 1976, the school was first accredited by the Florida Catholic Conference. In 1988, it was named a "National School of Excellence" by the United States Department of Education. Bertha Moro is the school principal.
