History of Ste Jeanne d’Arc School
In 1910, the late Rev. Joseph Campeau, OMI, pastor of St. Joseph’s Parish in Lowell, had obtained permission to build a parish school for the first grade pupils of the Pawtucketville section of the city. This school was built on Fourth Avenue, and the Grey Nuns of the Cross of Ottawa, already at St. Joseph’s School were commissioned to teach at this new one-grade school.
The opening of a parish school was now the first step toward the realization of the dream for a parish in the Pawtucketville section of the city of Lowell.
From its modest beginnings to the establishment of Ste Jeanne d’Arc Parish in 1922, the school expansion program continued throughout the years until 1931 when there were 12 classrooms in the old church on Fourth Avenue, and seven classrooms in the old Moody Street School purchased by the parish from the city of Lowell, with a total enrollment of 878 children.
It was because of continued demands on the part of parents for a primary school that the old Moody Street Primary Public School was purchased in 1921.
The Grey Nuns of the Cross traveled daily from St. Joseph’s Convent to Pawtucketville to teach 300 enrolled children at the Moody Street Parish School while 163 more pupils attended the first grades at the Fourth Avenue facility.
The need for a new school had been evident for many years, and now became more imperative. On August 5, 1946 the Parish obtained permission to purchase three lots on Dracut Street and Fourth Avenue. Ground breaking did not occur, however, until August 9, 1950 and the school was built under the direction of the then Pastor, Rev. Donat Morrissette, OMI. The late Bishop Louis Collignon, OMI of Haiti presided at the blessing of the new school on September 28, 1952.
During the seventies, there was a temporary phase-out of certain classes. Since 1976 this has been reversed and the school has had double classes of grades Kindergarten to Eighth through the 1980’s and saw a period of even greater expansion with the establishment of the Pre-Kindergarten program.
In September 2004 Ste Jeanne d’Arc Parish was closed as part of the archdiocesan reconfiguration of parishes. At that time, the school became associated with St. Rita’s Parish.
It is hoped that the spirit that brought about SJA’s conception and nurtured it through a period of regeneration will live on through the challenges of the future.
In 2010, Ste Jeanne d’Arc School was awarded the U. S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon Award distinguishing itself as not only a top rated school within the Archdiocese of Boston, but in the nation. The award honors public and private schools that are academically superior. The Department of Education has sought out schools where students attain and maintain high academic goals. In order to be considered for Blue Ribbon status, a school must be in the top 10% in nationally normed tests.
Today, Ste Jeanne d’Arc School boasts one of the most technologically advanced programs within an elementary school setting. SMARTBoards are available at every grade level; students are taught computer usage at every age utilizing iMac computers, laptops and iPads; students are also taught to use the technology responsibly as the ever-changing phenomenon of Social Media requires educating students about using the technology in a way befitting an elementary aged student. SJA boasts an extensive athletic program including gym classes, competitive sports and intramural activities. Since its inception, SJA has offered a foreign language program from kindergarten through grade eight. With so much to offer its current and future students, more and more families are researching and choosing a Ste Jeanne d’Arc School education for their children.

During the 2015 - 2016 school year, Ste Jeanne d’Arc School dedicated two new fundraisers specifically to benefit families in need of tuition assistance. The Angel Scholarship Drive raised over $10,000 with the help of an anonymous $5,000 matching donor. The High Five Scholarship Drive asked our young alumni (2009-2016 graduates) to pay it forward with a donation for the next generation of Ste Jeanne d’Arc School graduates. Thank you to our generous donors to these two scholarship campaigns.
