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!
