St. George Catholic School

St. George Catholic School is located in Fort Worth, TX. We offer an academic and moral-development of each child in grades Pre-K through 8th. In 1954, Msgr.

Shaping Knowledgeable, Compassionate, and Christ-Centered Individuals. George School was opened for the 1951-52 school year by the parishioners of St. George Church, Father Alphonsus Bock, O.S.B., pastor. The physical facility consisted of four classrooms and the cafeteria. Two Benedictine nuns from Sacred Heart Convent in Lisle, Illinois, staffed two classrooms. There were approximately sixty stu

dents, with grades one and two in one room and grades three through six in the other. The Sisters lived with parishioners Anthony and Lena Donze, whose home was a block away from the plant. The following year, the schools attendance expanded to 100 students in eight grades; four sisters came to teach. The sisters lived in a garage apartment across the street from the school. George had its first eighth grade graduating class, four boys, this same year. Donald Hartnett became pastor. The parish and the school grew by leaps and bounds. During the 1954-55 school year, half the cafeteria space was paritioned off to provide two more classrooms. There were now five sisters and one lay woman teaching in the school. Mother Superior of Sacred Heart convent in Lisle informed Msgr. Harnett that her sisters needed a convent if she was to increase their number and continue to staff our school. An eight bedroom, four bath convent was built; this building is now used to house the parish offices. This same year, four additional classrooms were added to the school facility. This, during the 1955-56 school year, there were eight sisters teaching eight grades and the cafeteria offered full service. A new church was built during the 1956-57 school year to accommodate the 1200 families in the parish. Five hundred students were enrolled in eight grades during the 1957-58 school year. Classroom space was at maximum use. In the years following, a library room in the church was made into a makeshift classroom to relieve crowding in first and second grades. There were now lay teachers working with the sisters to staff the school. In 1960, St. George School reached its maximum capacity with 513 students. In 1963, the parish was divided; the new parish, St. John the Apostle, was located east of St. George in the mid-cities area. Because St. Johns parish opened a school that same year, the enrollment at St. George dropped dramatically. The number of teaching sisters was also cut back, and in 1969 the Sacred Heart Sisters were unable to staff the school because of the number of women who had left the convent. George School came close to closing that year because of financial problems caused by the drop in enrollment and the added burden of lay salaries. In 1970-71, the seventh and eighth grades from both St. George and St. Peter School were moved to Nolan High School creating a Junior High School on the High School campus. The enrollment in grades one through six was approximately 125 students; Mrs. Dorothy Kassel, principal, with six lay teachers, staffed the school. It had been decided that if the enrollment fell below 100, the school would be closed. Parents knocked on doors asking parents to send their children back to St. George, even though there were no sisters for a real Catholic School. In 1971, a kindergarten class was added. These were turbulent times for both the parish and the school because of many changes in personnel and the sometimes painful reasons associated with these changes. George School enrolls 200 students in Pre-K through 8th grade. The students ethnic backgrounds reflect that of the parish; Anglo, Asian and Hispanic.

🌱 “God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.” — Genesis 1:31

Today’s campers stepped outside to explore the beauty of God’s creation and use nature itself as an art tool. From leaves and flowers to sticks and textures, every creation was inspired by the world God made for us.

As families begin preparing for the 2026-27 school year, we wanted to share an important update regarding uniform purchases. Our uniform provider, FlynnO'Hara, has announced that TEFA funds cannot be used through the Odyssey platform this season due to platform limitations that would make ordering school-specific uniforms difficult and could impact order accuracy. While this is disappointing for families who were hoping to use TEFA funds toward uniforms this year, FlynnO'Hara has shared that they are actively working with Odyssey and hope to make TEFA-funded uniform purchases available for the 2027 back-to-school season once the platform is better equipped to support the process.

To help families get a head start on back-to-school shopping, they are offering FREE SHIPPING on uniform orders of $100 or more from June 20–22, 2026!
🛍️ Use promo code: EARLYBIRD26
Uniforms can be purchased online or at your local FlynnO'Hara store.

Mientras las familias comienzan a prepararse para el año escolar 2026-2027, queremos compartir una actualización importante sobre la compra de uniformes. Nuestro proveedor de uniformes, FlynnO'Hara, ha informado que los fondos TEFA no podrán utilizarse a través de la plataforma Odyssey esta temporada debido a limitaciones de la plataforma que dificultan la compra de uniformes específicos de cada escuela y podrían afectar la precisión de los pedidos. Aunque esta noticia es decepcionante para las familias que esperaban utilizar los fondos TEFA para uniformes este año, FlynnO'Hara ha indicado que está trabajando activamente con Odyssey y espera que las compras de uniformes con fondos TEFA estén disponibles para la temporada de regreso a clases de 2027, una vez que la plataforma esté mejor preparada para respaldar este proceso.

Para ayudar a las familias a adelantarse con las compras de regreso a clases, ofrecerán ¡ENVÍO GRATIS en pedidos de uniformes de $100 o más del 20 al 22 de junio de 2026!

Los uniformes pueden comprarse en línea o en su tienda local de FlynnO'Hara.

There is only one YOU—and that’s exactly how God intended it.

Today our artists reflected on Isaiah 43:1, “I have called you by name; you are mine,” and created self-portraits celebrating their God-given gifts, talents, and personalities.

Watching these students recognize that they are known, loved, and created with purpose was just as beautiful as the artwork they created.

Day 1 complete. ❤️
