St. Paul's Catholic school is the sole Catholic school in Canyon County offering a Christian education and an investment in the future of Idaho children.
St. Paul’s School is the sole Catholic school in Canyon County providing a Catholic Education since 1922. The school was originally staffed by Dominican Sisters. From 1929-1939 the Sisters of the Holy Cross conducted classes.

The school is currently staffed by certified teachers and administrators with assistance from the Missionary Sisters of the Rosary of Fatima and Diocesan priests.
