Becca Clarke
The Navy brought our family to the Lowcountry almost six years ago, but Saint Peter’s Catholic School made Beaufort our true home. My children, Maura (10), Abigail (9), and William (7) have flourished both spiritually and academically at our very special school. During our first year at Saint Peter’s, our family suffered an unexpected tragedy, and the school community embraced us. Five years later, that support and love has only grown. Maura, Abigail, and William go to school every day, feeling secure because their teachers and fellow classmates know of their loss, and are sensitive, kind, and empathetic. Faith has sustained us these past five years. It is with great joy that I witness my children’s faiths grow, especially when they participate in weekly school Mass. Their minds are challenged in the classroom, their bodies in gym class and recess, and their creativity in art and music classes. Saint Peter’s Catholic School is our second home, and I firmly believe it was Providence who sent our family to this loving place.

Alison Inglis
I chose St. Peter’s Catholic School for my son because of the fun memories I have there as a child, and because of the bright future ahead for this wonderful school. My son is thriving in a stimulating environment with strong Christian values, where he gets individual attention and exciting opportunities. He looks forward to going to school as much as I did when I attended St. Peter’s. Some things have changed, but a quality education never does! St. Peter’s offers something you can’t find anywhere else. Go Cardinals!

St. Peter’s alumnus, Matt Flewelling and his wife Jennifer, (currently the K-4 teacher at St. Peter’s), have their son, Matt Jr., enrolled at the school. “We both had Catholic educations and this was something we very much wanted to continue with our own child.”

Daniel Feltner
Having your children grow up to be well-rounded, educated individuals is something that Alumnus Daniel Feltner understands as a goal of many parents. He attended St. Peter’s and now has daughters, Delilah (K-4) and Cami (K-3), enrolled at the school. “It was important for us to enroll our children at St. Peter’s where we knew they would get an excellent Catholic-centered education, and also learn about how they should treat others.”

Stephanie Whiteside
Stephanie Carroll Whiteside was a member of St. Peter’s very first 1st grade class in 1991. A graduate of St. Peter’s 8th grade in 1998, she is now a pharmacist and has her son, Carter, enrolled at St. Peter’s in K-4 this year. “My husband and I decided from the get go that we wanted our children to have the same Catholic education that we did, My family can trace back five generations and we all received Catholic educations. So it was very important to us to continue the tradition and offer the solid education along with the strong faith formation.”
