Welcome
In 1960, the vision of Catholic education in the Rapid City Diocese took its first giant step with the construction of Perpetual Help Grade School on Fairmont Boulevard in Rapid City, replacing the Cathedral Grade School and St. John’s Grade School. The school is now called St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School.
Next door to Seton is St. Thomas More High School, which opened in 1995 and is the successor to Cathedral High School and St. Martin’s Academy.
Seton and St. Thomas More now serve over 800 children from pre-school through twelfth grade, developing in those students “personal and academic excellence in the Catholic tradition.” The students come from the greater Rapid City area and various other communities in western South Dakota.
