School at St. Cyril

St. Cyril of Jerusalem Elementary School, originally staffed by three Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, opened in 1950.  The first permanent building was completed in 1952 and by 1955, the school had grown to eight classrooms.  In June of 1956, St. Cyril's graduated its first eighth grade class.

St Cyril's presently has ten classes, pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.  St. Cyril's is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Western Catholic Education Association and is a member of the National Catholic Education Association.
