Our History
Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic STEM School is a living legacy. Founded in 1955 by the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters, the school has graduated generations of students with a Catholic foundation. Over the course of seven decades, our school has adapted with the times with a clear focus of staying centered in Jesus Christ.
In 2003, the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles joined the school faculty and in 2013 they assumed administration of the school. In 2018, the school official became a STEM school, seeking to prepare students to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
The Carmelite Sisters’ apostolate of Catholic education, centered in Christ the Master Teacher, is rooted in the spirit of our Foundress, Mother Luisita.
We are blessed to count among our alumni many individuals who have greatly impacted our world. We give thanks to God especially for those have answered a call to the priesthood or religious life. We consistently hear back from alumni how their time at SPPS has helped shape them and enabled them to navigate the difficult times in which we live. Our school enjoys a solid reputation in our local community and continues to build on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.
