Story
Since 1913, Pacelli has been the home for a faith-based education in Austin, MN. Following in the Catholic Educational Tradition of scholastic achievement for the greater glory of God, our students thrive in small class sizes mentored by their knowledgeable teachers.
At Pacelli Catholic Schools, we root ourselves in our three pillar values: Faith, Scholarship, and Service. These three values define not only who we are, but also how we act and how school days play out on our campus. Our entire identity is rooted in Faith and prayer is a big part of our school day and it punctuates our major school events.
Our students are capable scholars. Aided by a 1:1 technology device program while in school, our students enter college and the workforce with necessary skills and knowledge to express themselves, adapt to adversity, problem solve, collaborate with others, and ultimately succeed. Approximately 80% of our students enrich their education by participating in extracurriculars, athletics, or the performing arts.
Our students habitually serve others. In situations from classroom mentorship and peer leadership to larger acts of community service and volunteerism, our students learn early and fast that the world is full of people and causes in need of helping hands. Raising money, performing acts of service, and lending a kind deed to someone in need are all examples of our students rising above the troubles of this world to be living models of Christ's love to all.
For more than 110 years, Pacelli Catholic Schools has been a WONDER-FULL place to receive an education. Your generous gift will be invested in a worthy cause of forming the hearts and engaging the minds of the next generation of Pacelli Graduates. Please consider joining us in our mission to #BeMore in Faith, Scholarship, and Service.
