Established 1948
On September 21, 1948, Saint Eugene opened its parochial school. The enrollment consisted of 300 children in grades one through six. On December 19, 1948, the doors of the school were opened to welcome the parishioners for an Open House. The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet were given charge of Saint Eugene School. Two years later, the convent for the Sisters was built at 9617 South Van Ness Avenue. On the afternoon of Sunday, January 23, 1949, Reverend Timothy Manning, Auxiliary Bishop, blessed the school in the presence of 700 proud parishioners.
Throughout the years, St. Eugene continued to grow enrollment and eventually opened the doors to welcome students in Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, seventh, and eighth grades.
When Covid brought its way to our country, school was moved to a virtual content; thus, enrollment declined to 165 students completely eliminating the Transitional Kindergarten Program.
When the doors reopened, St. Eugene was blessed with a major renovation and enrollment steadily increased. Today we are at full capacity with a waiting list in most classes.
To date, we have served over 17,000 students and families. St. Eugene prepares students academically and spiritually, and enjoy the pleasure of seeing our alumni return to share their successes!
Non-Discrimination Policy:
St. Eugene School, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at this school.
This school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation, and some Archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools.
While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admissions and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.
Likewise this Catholic school does not discriminate against any applicant for employment on the basis of sex, age, handicap, veteran status, race, color, or national and/or ethnic origin.
