St. Patrick's Catholic High School

St. Patrick's Catholic High School, normally called St. Pat's, is a Catholic secondary school located in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. It is one of two secondary schools in the St. Clair Catholic District School Board, and the only one located in Sarnia. In 2013 the school was merged with St. Christopher's Secondary School resulting in a population of over 1300 students.

History

St. Pat's was founded in 1935, initially as a branch of Our Lady of Mercy School before relocating to its own building. From 1984-2013 the school was located in the southern end of Sarnia and from 1996-2013 operated alongside St. Christopher's Secondary School. The two schools operated in Sarnia until the two schools merged in 2013, with the St. Christopher students moving to the East Street site. In 2014, the school moved to the newly renovated St. Christopher's lot, with an extra 80,000 square feet added to the pre-existing building. The school retained its mascot and name from St. Pat's but adopted the combined colours green and blue. St. Pat's is well known for its Irish Miracle and Cyclone Aid food drive which collects thousands of bags of non-perishable food items for local charities each year. In 2009 the school celebrated 75 years with both alumni and students.^[1]
