About St. Jude

History

St. Jude Educational Institute was opened in 1938 as a part of The City of St. Jude. Classes were originally held in the basement of the Church. The school became overcrowded and obviously inadequate to meet the projected needs of a growing west Montgomery. Encouraged by benefactors, who offered either services or financial aid, construction of a new facility began in 1940. Construction was interrupted due to shortages in materials as a result of World War II. In 1946 construction resumed and the school was completed in 1947.

 

Philosophy

St. Jude Educational Institute serves the educational and spiritual needs of single young men and women in grades seven through twelve integrating faith into daily life, making moral choices, and acting in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of each person. It further serves to educate the student for Christian living in a global society. Students develop their academic abilities, leadership skills, and individual talents so that they may contribute to building a better world. Students are especially mindful of the importance of loving service, concern for the poor, and their witness of hope, founded by a deep faith in God.

 

Accreditation

St. Jude Educational Institute is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The academic requirements meet those set forth by the State of Alabama for secondary schools as well as those set forth by the Archdiocese of Mobile.

 

St. Jude Educational Institute is a part of the Catholic School System of the Archdiocese of Mobile and is also a member of the National Catholic Education Association.

St. Jude admits students of any race, sex, national origin, age (in accordance with state law), religion, and special conditions (if, with reasonable accommodations, the school can provide appropriate educational services) to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

Governance
The Principal of St. Jude Educational Institute is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the school. He is assisted by a Vice Principal, faculty and staff who implement the school philosophy and objectives.

The St. Jude Educational Institute School Board is composed of membership from the parent community, community at large, and parish.
