St. Peter & the keys
St. Peter, one of Jesus' Apostles, was entrusted to be a leader. Jesus bestowed him the keys to heaven. In most depictions of St. Peter, you may see him holding a key and standing in front of the gates of heaven. At St. Peter’s School, we give our students the keys to Open Hearts and Open Minds. Our KEYS mantras help us remember our Core Values to grow, accomplish, love, serve, and unite, and guide us in living out our cultural vision of St. Peter’s School.
Knowledge feeds GROWTH.
Every ACCOMPLISHMENT needs courage.
You are LOVE.
SERVICE UNITES.
