Welcome to Sts. Peter and Paul!
With much joy I welcome you to Saints Peter and Paul Catholic STEM School. As you know every school has its unique character. We, at Saints Peter and Paul, are a community that provides rigorous academics, a nurturing family-like environment, and authentic Catholic faith formation imbued with Carmelite spirituality of prayer and friendship with Jesus Christ. As a Preschool through eighth grade school, we see our role in education as being at the service of the family. We are proud of our full accreditation by the North Central Association (NCA) and, through the Archdiocese of Denver, our district Accreditation through AdvancedEd. When you browse through our website we hope that you will enjoy a glimpse of who we are. We, the Carmelite Sisters, faculty, staff, students, and parents invite you to become a member of our school community. Join us on our journey as we strive to imitate our patrons, Saints Peter and Paul who were centered in Jesus Christ, courageous in faith, and scholars for truth.

Meet Our Pastor

Welcome to Sts. Peter and Paul!
As pastor of Saints Peter and Paul Parish and School I welcome you to our official website! It reflects the spiritual strength, academic integrity, and communal wellbeing of our Catholic STEM school in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
If you have school-aged children, I hope that you will consider enrolling your children in our revered program. The testimony of our current families is that their participation in the life of Saints Peter and Paul Parish and School has enriched their children, marriages and families. This treasure of resources will help you to form your child’s whole person: body, mind and soul. This site exhibits the tradition of excellence maintained here since our inception in 1955. May our patrons, Saints Peter and Paul, intercede for you and your family!
God bless you,
Fr. Jason Thuerauf
Our History
Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic STEM School is a living legacy. Founded in 1955 by the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters, the school has graduated generations of students with a Catholic foundation. Over the course of six decades, our school has adapted with the times with a clear focus of staying centered in Jesus Christ.
In 2003, the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles joined the school faculty and in 2013 they assumed administration of the school. In 2018, the school official became a STEM school, seeking to prepare students to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
We are blessed to count among our alumni many individuals who have greatly impacted our world. We give thanks to God especially for those have answered a call to the priesthood or religious life. We consistently hear back from alumni how their time at SPPS has helped shape them and enabled them to navigate the difficult times in which we live. Our school enjoys a solid reputation in our local community and continues to build on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.
