History
Pioneer Catholic settlers in the Beloit area had a deep concern for the education of their children. In the fall of 1879 with 15 students, St. John's Catholic School was founded in a small one room building. By 1900, enrollment reached 140 students thus creating a need for a larger more structured school building. Local farmers quarried and hauled stone and sand to the present site. A German craftsman supervised construction of the present building that was completed in 1914.[citation needed]
The high school started in 1920 and occupied the same building until the present high school was built in 1952.[citation needed]
Today, the parish and families still hold the same passion to educate and form their children and grandchildren in the Catholic faith while giving them a complete and competitive education.[citation needed]
In March 2013, St. John's was selected as the Catholic School of the Month. This brought congratulations from Catholic dignitaries, authors, and others.[citation needed][2]
