About us

HONOR THE PAST. IMPROVE THE PRESENT. ENSURE THE FUTURE.

St. John the Baptist Catholic School has been serving the Healdsburg (and surrounding) community since 1950. Originally staffed by the Sisters of the Infant Jesus, it exists today as one of the most beloved Catholic Schools in Sonoma County. Generations of students have been nurtured spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and physically on our small- town campus adjacent to St. John the Baptist Church. Throughout all the changes over the years- to our curriculum, staff, and campus - one thing has remained constant. We've remained true to our mission of being " dedicated to the work of Christ."
