St. Paul's Catholic School

St. Joseph the Worker runs two programs on one Weirton campus: a Day School for children from infancy through age two, and a Grade School for Preschool 3 through sixth grade. Families come from across Hancock and Brooke Counties and from nearby Pennsylvania and Ohio. Pre-K through fourth grade meet in self-contained classrooms, while fifth and sixth graders change classes by subject. West Virginia classifies us as a First Class school. Students pray daily, take daily religion and family life classes, help plan liturgies and take part in service projects and retreats. We are the only Catholic elementary school in our area with both a full-time school resource officer and a full-time school psychologist, and our staff also includes a counselor and a school nurse. Families can apply for the Diocesan Tuition Assistance Program through FACTS or use West Virginia's Hope Scholarship. Sixth graders moving on to Madonna High School can earn parish scholarships.
