Catholic education in Piqua, OH dates back to 1863. The Piqua community has always supported Catholic education with both of our parishes, St. Boniface and St. Mary Catholic Churches founding their own K-12 parish schools. In 1930, the two parishes combined their High School programs to form Piqua Catholic High School. After nearly 40 years of operating the high school together, high enrollment and rising costs led to the combining of several Catholic high schools to form Lehman Catholic High School in Sidney in 1971. The two parish grade schools continued to operate, independent of one another, until 1987 when they combined once again to form Piqua Catholic Elementary School.  During this chapter - the Kindergarten through third grades operated at the St. Boniface School building on Downing Street and the fourth through eighth grades operated at the St. Mary School building on North Street. The 2013-2014 school year saw yet another change at Piqua Catholic School when all of the Kindergarten through eighth-grade students moved under one roof at the North Street Campus and our Preschool program (The Center for Early Learning) opened at the Downing Street Campus.
