Principal's Welcome

Welcome to St. Patrick St. Vincent (SPSV) High School! established through the merger of St. Vincent Ferrer and St. Patrick High Schools in 1987, SPSV continues the excellent tradition of Catholic secondary education in Solano County begun in Vallejo in 1870.

SPSV is a community of learners who seek to grow continuously as communicators, thinkers, and citizens. As men and women of character, SPSV people exercise caring stewardship of the created universe, aware of the challenges of the wider world and active in helping to meet the needs of others.

Students at SPSV are individuals, gifted with talents and spirit that enliven the campus on a daily basis. Faculty members serve as mentors for these young adults, helping them to recognize their unique strengths and to develop their capacities fully. Respect is the backbone of all our relationships, helping the school to be a vibrant and welcoming place where service is a hallmark.

We are very proud of our alumni. Their on-going support of the school speaks not only to their love of school but also to the close ties forged when they were students. Alumni bear witness to the solid education they received as well as to the strong Catholic Christian values our program has embodied for more than 130 years.

Please consider this developing website as the briefest introduction to the SPSV experience. We encourage you to visit our campus in person so that you can gain a broader understanding of all that we have to offer and to meet the people who make it happen. Prospective students and families may contact Director of Admissions, Sheila Williams, SV'85, at Extension 448. Alumni and friends may call Rich Curtola, SV'68, Director of Development at Extension 431 or me at Extension 412.

Thank you for visiting us. We look forward to welcoming you to our school!

With warmest wishes,

Mary Ellen Ryan, SV'64, Principal
