Why Choose

Our History
Much like the city of Washington, St. John the Baptist Gildehaus Catholic School was established in 1839. Our rich educational history begins with a humble log church, and has grown into what you see today by the grace of God and our loving community.
Support for Parents
St. John the Baptist Gildehaus Catholic School understands the needs of not only our students, but their loving parents as well. We offer before and after care, parent organizations, and many other resources that benefit both student and parent.
“Continue to teach our students about Jesus and bringing them closer to him. My vision is for our school to be here for generations to come.”
— Ruth Wissmann, School Principal
