St. Felicitas Catholic School as a Catholic school in the Diocese of Oakland educates children in the Catholic faith and nurtures their minds, bodies, and souls, inspiring them to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ, achieve their highest academic and creative potential, and actively serve and enrich the community.

St. Felicitas Catholic School believes that ALL people are beloved children of God.  We believe every child is a unique and precious gift from God whose many talents will serve others and change our world.  Our Catholic faith and traditions give a strong foundation for nurturing students, staff, and parents to meet the daily challenges that occur in their lives and in our society.  Through the strength of our faith community we are able to provide a school where children are educated in an emotionally and physically safe learning environment that encourages students to learn from their mistakes. By developing strong relationships in the community among students, staff, and parents, we honor the partnership between home and school, promoting optimal spiritual, social, and academic growth for our students.  Within the learning environment, the whole child is nurtured, inclusivity is practiced, diversity is celebrated, students’ voices are valued, and service leadership is fostered. St. Felicitas Catholic School is committed to giving students the opportunities they need to build confidence and inspire them to be the version of themselves that God created them to be.  

St. Felicitas Catholic School opened its doors in 1959, a few years after the completion of St. Felicitas Catholic Church. Monsignor McGinty, the first pastor, invited the Sisters of St. Joseph of Wichita, Kansas to staff the school and for 34 years, they worked to provide a quality education for our children. Today the school has a vibrant Preschool – 8th grade program committed to providing an exceptional education rooted in Catholic values.  Although the St. Joseph sisters no longer work at the school, their spiritual presence continues to permeate through it.
 

St. Felicitas Catholic School is accredited by the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
