Principal’s Letter
Greetings!
As we begin our third school year, I am filled with excitement and gratitude for the many blessings that have brought St. Peter Catholic Career & Technical High School to this moment
What began as a bold vision to provide young men and women with both an excellent Catholic education and the technical skills to succeed in today’s workforce has continued and is now a thriving and flourishing reality.
This past year, our students have continued to grow academically, spiritually, and professionally. With increased enrollment, new faculty and staff, and expanded partnerships with local businesses and Houston City College, our mission is flourishing Our students are not only preparing for college and careers, but also being formed as faithful leaders who will bring their skills and values into their communities.
As we begin our third year, we do so with deep gratitude for you our donors, friends, and partners. Your generosity makes this mission possible. Through your prayers, encouragement, and financial support, you have directly impacted the lives of our students and their families. Every classroom lesson, every hands-on training experience, and every moment of faith formation is made possible because of your belief in this school and its mission.
On behalf of our faculty, staff, and especially our students, thank you for walking with us on this journey. With your continued support, I am confident that the years ahead will bring even greater growth, opportunity, and witness to the transforming power of Catholic Career & Technical education
With gratitude,
Principal
St. Peter Catholic Career & Technical High School
Board Chair’s Letter
Dear Friends, Families, Faculty, Donors, and Supporters of St Peter Catholic,
As Chair of the Board of Trustees, I am honored to present this Annual Report for the 2024–2025 school year. In our third year of operation as Texas’ first private, co-educational Catholic Career & Technical High School, St Peter Catholic has remained steadfast in its mission:
to empower students to be models of faith through Catholic spiritual formation, while offering creative and comprehensive education through Career & Technical pathways.
This year we strengthened our Academic Career & Technical Pathways in Business, Construction, Education, and Information Technology helping students to be able to graduate with industry certifications and real-world skills. Our Catholic identity remains central through campus ministry, retreats, and opportunities for spiritual formation New partnerships with Houston City College and growing business partners expanded hands-on training, internships, and workforce readiness opportunities. From what I observed on social media and attending school events, we continue to spotlight our students their stories, their service, their achievements Whether in student spotlights, first day celebrations, or highlights of our spiritual life, these outpourings reinforce both our academic and faith missions.
Our Impact
Students will be leaving St. Peter Catholic with more than a diploma they are career-ready, spiritually formed, and prepared to thrive in a changing world. Graduates will be ready to work, continue education, or both. We invested in a state-of-the-art school with new labs and tools, professional development for faculty, expanded counseling, sports programs, and increased financial aid to keep education accessible for all families.

Gratitude & Future Vision
This work is possible only through the dedication of many hands and hearts our courageous students, committed faculty and staff, supportive parents, generous donors, business partners, and visionary Trustees Looking to 2025–2026, we will launch a Health Science Pathway to meet workforce demand, deepen partnerships with industry and higher education, expand scholarship programs, and continue investing in faculty formation, both in technical disciplines and in the Catholic tradition.
In closing, I am confident that St. Peter Catholic is more than a school; it is a community where faith and vocation intersect Every certification earned, every act of service performed, every student formed in virtue and skill these are signs of God’s work in and through us.
May God continue to bless our students, our mission, and our shared work
