St. Paul High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Shiner, Texas. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Victoria in Texas. ==Background== The first Catholic school in Shiner was built in 1896 by Scherbohm and Mewes, contractors. The two story French style frame building housed two classrooms, a dining room and kitchen on the first floor, and a residence for the Sisters on the second floor. Named Saint Ludmila's Academy in honor of a Slavic saint, the school opened in February 1897 and was operated by the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament religious order in the state of Texas. The co-educational boarding and day school enrolled fifty-seven students the first year. Courses included German and Czech language; music courses featured piano, guitar, and mandolin. In 1902, two years of high school were added to the elementary grades. In 1916 a new structure was built to meet increased enrollment. In 1928 a four-year high school was incorporated, and the school received the designation of an academy. After 1939, no pupils were accepted as boarders. An elementary school was built in 1951, and a gymnasium, auditorium and cafeteria were added to the campus. In 1963, the Parish of Sts. Cyril and Methodius erected St. Paul High School. The educational complex comprising St. Ludmila Elementary and St. Paul High School is known as Shiner Catholic School. (1997) In 2002, a Parish Hall was completed adjacent to the parish gym. It serves as a cafeteria for the Catholic School students and, with a seating capacity of approximately 200, is used to accommodate the larger gatherings of various parish and school functions. In 2012, the Janak Music Center was completed. The building is a state of the art music center serving students in grades K-12 beginning in the 2012-2013 school year. This building was made possible through the generosity of the Rita Janak family in memory of Rita's late husband, Leo Janak and the Dickson-Allen Foundation. St. Paul High School students compete in Football, Volleyball, Baseball, Softball, Track, Cross Country, Golf, Swimming and Tennis through the Texas Association of Private and Public School (TAPPS) and was the recipient of the Henderson Overall Championship Cup during 2011-2012 and 2012-2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Paul High School (Shiner, Texas)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
