Brief History:
| St. Anthony of
Padua School, founded in 1904
by the Sisters of Holy Cross, is a parish elementary school located in
the southeastern corner of Manchester, NH, and operates under the
auspices of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Manchester. |
| The existence
of Saint Anthony of Padua Elementary School is credited to the
foresight and dreams of Bishop George Guertin. He first arrived at
Saint Anthony Parish on October 2, 1890 and immediately delved
into the task of building for the future. His foresight and wisdom were
contributing factors in two separate land purchases that insured the
further development of parish institutions. |
|
| Under the
present leadership skills of Mr. Jerry Bergeron, the principal, Saint
Anthony of Padua Elementary School continues to flourish. With the
addition of a Community Center to be shared between the school and the
parish, many more are able to attend school basketball games and
concerts, as well as attend parish functions. The current enrollment of
approximately 160 students is divided among grades pre-kindergarten
through sixth grade. |
