Summary
Designed by architect William Steele, and finished in 1909, the S.S. Peter and Paul Catholic School is a typical example of multi-story, brick, "fireproof" parochial school buildings that were constructed in virtually every Catholic community in Nebraska during the first quarter of the twentieth century. These schools were, and are, a symbol of community permanence and progressive interest in parochial education. The building features all the characteristics of a period school: chapel, boarding rooms for the students, and nuns quarters. The school is significantly associated with parochial education in Boyd County, as it was the only Catholic elementary school built in the county.
