Founded in 1904, St. Paul School is the only Catholic school in Salem, Ohio, and one of only two Catholic Schools in Columbiana County. Located in the northern part of Columbiana County, St. Paul School attracts students from several public school districts in both Mahoning and Columbiana counties. Students enroll from surrounding Catholic parishes. Students of other faith traditions are also welcome.
We are proud of our heritage. For 98 years, the school was served by Sisters of the Humility of Mary. Currently operating with an experienced, committed staff of Catholic and Christian lay educators, the school continues its mission to spread the Good News; to form faith communities among staff, students, and families; and to provide opportunities for students to grow in awareness of others' needs. At St. Paul School, not only do we teach the Catholic Faith, but we try to live it each day.
The comprehensive curriculum followed at Saint Paul School exceeds state standards and results in standardized test scores that are consistently higher than the national norms. With a well-stocked library, a state-of-the-art computer lab, as well as extensive technology, St. Paul School has the resources to educate students in the 21st century.
