Recognitions

St. Patrick's School is proud to announce the notable achievement of winning "Best Private School 2020" by the readers of Westchester Magazine! Westchester County, New York is home to over 115 outstanding private schools. The selection of "Best Private School" is an outstanding honor given the exceptional academic standards in prestigious Westchester county.

St. Patrick's School is a PreK-8th grade faith-based elementary school that serves Yorktown Heights and its surrounding neighborhoods. The school is led by Principal, Ms. Rebecca Steck, and a family of dedicated educators who serve to meet the needs of each child through its challenging curriculum, emphasizing the spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, cultural and physical development.

In a creative environment, St. Patrick’s School provides an exceptional, technology-enriched education to develop knowledge, stimulate growth and form life-enriching experiences. In this community atmosphere, we promote an environment where knowledge is constantly pursued, while providing the means to develop individual student skills and talents so that our students may successfully serve the world. 

Nearly 200 students from more than 30 schools participated in the first annual Arch Media Awards. This multimedia journalism program challenges students and their moderators to produce 60-90 second packages that tell a story just as it is done by reporters and editors around the world. The theme assigned was “What Makes My School Catholic.” While the COVID-19 crisis prevented the awards from being held at the Sheen Center for Thought and Culture, this video, featuring Msgr. James Vlaun from the Catholic Faith Network, Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Michael J. Deegan and celebrity guest, CBS2 Chief Meteorologist Lonnie Quinn is a wonderful salute to the winning submissions and all those who made the first Archies a roaring success!
