Welcome to Saint Patrick School

Founded by the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1956, St. Patrick School provides a quality Catholic Education for children in Rodeo, Hercules, and Crockett. We offer a Pre-School and Transitional Kindergarten through Eighth grade curriculum, and are committed to excellence in 21st century Catholic education. Visit our website and learn about St. Patrick School and all we have to offer your child.

 Keep in mind the following key factors about Catholic education:

Affordability may be a stumbling block for those choosing a non-public school. At St. Patrick School we are determined to open our doors to all who desire a Catholic education for their child. For those who qualify, there are several sources of tuition assistance available. First, the school itself makes grants available to qualifying families through our Tuition Assistance Program, known as TAP. There are also two main outside sources of assistance as well, the BASIC Fund available to all new families and FACE, Family Aid for Catholic Education made available by the Oakland Diocese. All tuition assistance programs are needs based.

Finally, and most importantly, we are an excellent academic institution committed to 21st century education. We believe that our students must be prepared for the world in which they live and that is why we create a collaborative, innovative, technology-rich curriculum that challenges our students to reach beyond their potential. In the 2010-2011 school year, we fully implemented our one to one laptop program in the middle school grades. Each student in grades 6, 7, and 8 is given access to a computer for use at school in each of our Middle School classrooms.  We have an additional 40 computers available to students in grades K-5 in our main school Computer Lab and 3 iPad labs that are shared. To continue to remain on the cutting edge in the technology program, students learn to code from grades K-8 and each having Engineering Projects that connect science with real life learning. This provides students with the chance to develop skills needed to be successful in the 21st century.

Please feel free to contact me for a personal tour of the school. I would love to meet you and tell you much more about St. Patrick School!

Mr. Jules Perez
My name is Mr. Jules Ramos Perez and I have been teaching in the Diocese for 9 years. As an alumni, I am so excited to serve and to be part of this community. I graduated from Saint Patrick School in 2005 and continued my education at De La Salle High School. After high school I earned my Bachelor of Science at Saint Mary's College of California. During my college years I continued to serve at Saint Patrick Parish as a catechist and young adult leader. I eventually went into teaching and also earned my Masters of Science in Education. I am currently enrolled at Loyola Marymount University for their Technology Integration Specialist Program. During my time at this school I have served as a 5th Homeroom teacher, upper elementary Writing teacher, junior high Religion teacher, middle school Language Arts teacher, Junior High Faith Formation coordinator, and Blended Learning Teacher Leader. In addition to my teaching roles, I have also served on the curriculum and staff development teams in the Diocese of Oakland.

Saint Patrick School holds a special place in my heart and I am so blessed to be a part of a faith-filled community.

Ms. Cecily Clary
My name is Ms. Cecily Clary, and I am delighted to be with the staff here at St. Patrick School for my eleventh year of full time teaching. I am a proud graduate of both Catholic elementary, high school, and grad school. I earned my California Teaching Credential at Sonoma State University in 2013 and my Masters of Arts in Teacher Leadership in Social Justice at St. Mary's College of California in 2022. I have been a full time teacher at St. Patrick School for nine years, but I first started working here in the summer of 2009 as the preschool aide. Since then, I have filled the roles of middle school Math teacher, middle school Language Arts teacher, preschool through 8th grade music teacher, choir and band director, and musical director for our award-winning musical theater program. This year, I am elated to add vice principal to that list. One of my favorite parts of working at St. Patrick School is seeing the students learn and grow over the course of the current year, as well as, over the course of several years. It is truly a joy and a blessing to be a part of this community. I can't wait to see what amazing things this community can achieve!
