School History
St. Pascal Baylon Parish was established on May 28, 1946, when Archbishop John Murray assigned Fr. John Ryan as pastor.
The first day of school in the new building was September 7, 1950, with nearly 200 students in attendance. Sister Alice Gertrude Hassing was the first principal, with Sisters Eunice Tussing, Blanche Rys, and Alice Baumgartner on staff.
The growing parish of St. Pascal's was destined to have a grade school enrollment of more than 1200 students. A sizable addition to St. Pascal's - the West Wing - was finished in 1963. It was decided that the basement portion of the new addition would be the church. In 1974, the decision was made to open a kindergarten. At this time, two additional classrooms were completed in the West Wing. Enrollment was at 559 students. In the spring of 2001, construction began on a new church, major renovations were done in the school building, and additional space was added.
