[edit] History
St. Peter School was opened on September 7, 1976 as a small school offering only Kindergarten through grade 4 under the guidance of Mr. Abbey Densmore. Though St. Peter only had 43 students enrolled that first year, it rapidly grew, and the next year accepted children up to grade 6. By 1982, the school had almost 200 students.
1987 was a year of change for St. Peter as it welcomed a new Principal, Ms. Sylvia Basso. The school began accepting students up to grade 8 and enrollment jumped to 308.
In 1991, Jim Furfaro was appointed the first Vice Principal to help Ms. Basso when the enrollment increased again to 377 students. In 1993, Mrs. Norina Morris took over from Ms. Basso as principal while enrollment continued to grow to close to 500 students.
