Welcome...

Founded in 1947, we are a Catholic elementary school under the guidance of the Diocese of Harrisburg and the pastor of Saint Patrick Parish. Saint Patrick School serves students in pre-kindegarten through grade eight from the Saint Patrick Parish as well as students from outside the parish who accept the mission, policies, and teachings of Saint Patrick School.

Saint Patrick School exists to develop the spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, creative, and physical needs of students, thus preparing them to meet the challenges of modern life. The beliefs and traditions of the Catholic faith provide the foundation for a child-sensitive school environment where teachers and students interact in an atmosphere based on respect.

Our school has been a positive presence in the Carlisle and surrounding areas. It is the intention of the administration, parents, faculty and staff to maintain this presence as we continue the spiritual and academic formation of those entrusted to us.

Carlisle...

Carlisle is a quaint town with a population of approximately 18,000. Situated in the Cumberland Valley, Carlisle reaps the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, with rolling hills, lush forests and clear streams surrounding the town's borders. With only a 23 mile driving distance to the capitol of Harrisburg and only a few hours from Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and New York City, residents have easy access to major metropolitan areas. Serving as the "county seat," Carlisle not only achieves a centralized location for legal and government offices, but also boasts a growing town for retail and dining. Claiming the Dickinson College, Penn State's Dickinson School of Law, and the Army War College as its own, Carlisle also offers opportunities for higher education, with several other universities and institutions in the vicinity.
