St. Peter's High School for Girls is an all-girls, private, Roman Catholic high school on Staten Island in New York, New York. It is located within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

[edit] Background

Correctly known as St. Peter's Girls High School, in August of 1852, the Sisters of Charity came to St. Peter's church and established the first parish school in the church basement.

The convent was a frame building which occupied the now empty deep vacant lot on the west side of the present church, and in 1855 accommodated the first students of St. Peter's Academy. The private school educated younger boys, as well as girls through high school. (Parish boys seeking a Catholic high school education attended LaSalle or Xavier high schools in Manhattan.) [[1]]

St. Peter's Girls High School ( the actual school) was established in 1926 by the Sisters of Charity. ^[1]
