An Abbreviated History |
||
|
Saint Anastasia School opened its doors for the first time in September of 1926 to fifty-two children. The early building remains standing on the corner of Orange Avenue and North Tenth Street. Under the leadership of Father Gabriel Ruppert and, later Monsignor Michael Beerhalter, the school expanded to include ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades and offered a traditional Catholic education of notable quality. |

By 1960, St. Anastasia School had educated several generations of children and had moved grades one through eight to its present location on South Thirty-third Street. Its high school division moved to a building of its own and assumed the name of John Carroll High School, as part of the system of high schools operated by the Diocese of Orlando. |

St. Anastasia School has grown in countless ways and has established an excellent tradition of education and services to Christian family life. The administration and staff of St. Anastasia School strive to preserve the Catholic school heritage of academic excellence while incorporating the Gospel values of community, faith, hope, reconciliation, courage, service, justice, and love in their teaching and interaction with students, parents and each other. |

| The true purpose of Catholic education - the proclamation of the Good News of the Gospel, the teaching of Catholic doctrine, and the translation of that Good News and doctrine into service - is what St. Anastasia is about. | ||
