St. Giles School — A Rich History: Since 1928
St. Giles School was founded in 1928 when Dominican sisters from Rosary College taught the school’s seventy-two students. Today, over 5,800 students have since been educated in the school’s tradition of academic excellence and community focused on strong Catholic values. This foundation prepares each student for a future of lifelong leadership. Today’s dedicated staff continues to build on this tradition, educating, and preparing students for the 21st century. Our success is derived from the following four focus areas:
