Happy 150th Anniversary to St. Peter’s Elementary School this 2018-2019 school year!
In 1868, third pastor, Father Jacob Kuhn, left his mark on the parish by initiating the Catholic education tradition and establishing the very first St. Peter’s School. It was a three-room white structure that stood on the northeast corner of First and Mulberry Streets, just behind the first rectory on that same corner.
There was a faculty consisting of three young female teachers: Miss Elizabeth Haley of Sandusky, Miss Mame Gutzwiler and Miss Anna Schantz. Names of the children enrolled: Massa, Berno, Wentz, and Leibfritz are still found in the parish today.
