Catholic education in Hudson has a long and important history in our community. The original Catholic school building, St. Mary's on the Hill, was built in 1890 and stood until 1953, when it was demolished to make room for a new school and gymnasium.
With the continued growth of Hudson and St. Patrick Parish, St. Patrick School added a wing onto the north end of the building. This wing currently houses the 5th grade and Middle School programs.
As Hudson became a booming suburb of the Twin Cities area in the 1990's, St. Patrick School was bursting at the seams and in need of more classrooms and specialty spaces. In 2002 St. Patrick School underwent an extensive renovation and addition to bring St. Patrick School into the 21st century. The original building, built in 1955, was gutted and reorganized to house a new main office, a music room, an art room, a new media center, a computer room, new kindergarten and kindergarten readiness classrooms, and an improved space for the Religious Formation Program. The southeast primary wing was added with eight new classrooms, a new cafeteria/multi-purpose room, and activity room.
