About St. Michael Catholic School

A Tradition of Faith. A Future of Excellence.

For more than a century, St. Michael Catholic School has provided an exceptional Catholic education in the heart of Weimar, Texas. Since our founding in 1889, we have remained committed to forming students who are academically prepared, spiritually grounded, and inspired to serve others with faith and compassion.

Rooted in the traditions of the Catholic Church and supported by the faith communities of St. Michael Catholic Church in Weimar and Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Dubina, our school is strengthened by generations of dedicated families, alumni, parishioners, and community members who continue to invest in our mission.

Educating the Whole Child

At St. Michael Catholic School, education extends far beyond the classroom. We believe every child is uniquely created by God and deserves an environment where they are known, valued, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.

Our mission is to develop students who are:

  • Friendly

  • Respectful

  • Responsible

  • Christlike

Through a challenging liberal arts curriculum integrated with Catholic teachings, students build a strong academic foundation while growing in faith, character, and leadership. Our dedicated faculty and staff foster a culture of excellence that encourages critical thinking, personal responsibility, organizational skills, problem-solving, and a lifelong relationship with Christ.

Guided by the principles of Catholic social teaching, students learn the importance of serving others, loving God and neighbor, and becoming compassionate leaders in their communities and beyond.

A Legacy Built on Faith

St. Michael School began in the summer of 1889, when two Sisters of Divine Providence opened a school serving sixty students. Following changes in public education during the early 1900s, Bishop John Shaw of San Antonio and Father Joseph Szymanski recognized the need for a Catholic school dedicated to faith-based learning. With the unwavering support of parishioners, St. Michael Parochial School officially opened in 1915 under the guidance of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament.

As enrollment steadily grew, so did the campus. A two-story school building was completed in 1919, followed by a modern brick classroom building in 1965, the Parish Center, gymnasium, and cafeteria in 1984, and additional classrooms and a chapel in the 1990s. Continued support from generous organizations such as the Kenedy Foundation and the Stanzel Foundation has allowed the school to expand academic opportunities, introduce Pre-K and Kindergarten programs, and equip classrooms with modern technology and wireless learning environments.

Today, our campus reflects both our rich heritage and our commitment to preparing students for the future—blending historic buildings with innovative educational resources.

Excellence That Endures

For generations, St. Michael Catholic School graduates have distinguished themselves academically, spiritually, and as leaders within their communities. Although our students make up only a small portion of the local high school population, they have consistently represented a significant percentage of top academic achievers.

Beyond the classroom, students participate in meaningful traditions that create lasting memories, including the long-standing educational trip to Washington, D.C., where eighth-grade students experience our nation's history and government firsthand.

While the last Sisters of the Incarnate Word retired in 2010, the school's mission continues under the leadership of our parish, administration, faculty, and staff, supported by an incredible network of parents, alumni, volunteers, local businesses, foundations, and parishioners.

A Community Where Every Child Belongs

Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At St. Michael Catholic School, parents are recognized as the primary educators of their children, and we are honored to partner with families in nurturing each student's academic, spiritual, and personal growth.

If you are seeking a Christ-centered education where academic excellence, strong values, personal attention, and community come together, we invite you to discover the difference a St. Michael Catholic School education can make.

We welcome the opportunity to meet your family and share what makes St. Michael Catholic School a place where faith, learning, and tradition thrive.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Welcome Letter to the 2026-27 School Year

Greetings to Sword Nation,

It is an honor to serve as the administrator of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic School. From the beginning, my goal has been to listen—to our students, parents, grandparents, parishioners, and community members—and to understand the history, traditions, and aspirations that make SMCS such a special place.

What I have found is a community grounded in faith, family, hard work, and a deep love for God and country. Generations of families have given their time, talent, and treasure to build this parish, school, and community. I am proud to join them in ensuring that St. Michael continues not simply to survive, but to thrive.

People often ask me, “Why Weimar?” My answer is simple: Why not Weimar? This is a community that values many of the same principles I hold dear, and I believe there is an incredible opportunity to build upon the strong foundation already here.

My vision for SMCS is rooted in an “Old-School Catholic” approach: a strong emphasis on reading, writing, arithmetic, faith, discipline, personal responsibility, and character. Parents and teachers must work together in the formation of each child, and while technology has an important place in education, it should never replace hard work, critical thinking, or human connection.

Above all, I ask our students to live by two simple rules:

1. Respect people and property.
2. Give your best effort—every day.

I believe deeply in the future of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic School. Together, we can strengthen SMCS as a beacon of Catholic education for Colorado County, the Diocese of Victoria, and the great state of Texas.

So, Sword Nation, saddle up. The future of St. Michael is bright, and I am excited for the journey ahead

God bless, and Go Swords!

Sincerely,
Pierre N. Antoine
Administrator
St. Michael the Archangel Catholic School
