Saint Peter Central Catholic School is a community of learners.  We nurture children from Preschool through Grade Eight. We provide a caring atmosphere and a sense of belonging by acknowledging each individual. Within our Catholic, culturally diverse community, we endeavor to enrich and foster the intellect and spirit of all who enter. Our environment encourages children to reinforce their connection to God, to make responsible decisions, and to reach their academic potential.

Uniforms: As of May 1, gray uniform shorts, polo shirts, gym shorts (on gym day) and white ankle socks can be worn.  Polo shirts are to be worn with short pants only not long pants.  Black shoes are still the uniform code.  Sweaters are still part of the uniform even with polo shirt.  Refer to your handbook for uniform information.

A Tree Grows at S.P.C.C.

On Thursday, April 16, a tree was donated by the City of Worcester to be planted in our schoolyard to commemorate Arbor Day.  Kindergarten teacher, Melody Grady’s husband John, who works in the city’s Forestry Department, came with other members of the Department to plant an Autumn Cherry tree on the side of our schoolyard.

We thank him and the City of Worcester for this gracious gift.
