Discover our rich history, mission, and the dedicated people who make St. Louis Secondary School a place of excellence and community.

Our History

Founded in 1950, St. Louis Secondary School has been a cornerstone of education in Dundalk for over seven decades.

Founded in 1950

St. Louis Secondary School was established in 1950 by the Sisters of St. Louis, bringing their educational philosophy and commitment to excellence to Dundalk. Our school has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the region's most respected educational institutions.

​

Throughout the decades, we have maintained our founding principles while adapting to modern educational needs, ensuring our students receive the best possible preparation for their futures.

The Castle

Our historic castle building stands as a testament to our rich heritage, housing many of our classrooms and serving as a symbol of the enduring nature of education at St. Louis.

The Convent

The original convent building reflects our founding by the Sisters of St. Louis and continues to play an important role in our school community today.

Our Mission

At St. Louis Secondary School, we are committed to providing a holistic education that nurtures the intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical development of each student. Our mission is to create a learning environment where every student can achieve their full potential while developing strong moral values and a sense of social responsibility.

​

We strive to prepare our students not only for academic success but for life, encouraging them to become confident, compassionate, and contributing members of society who embody our motto "Ut Sint Unum" - That They May Be One.
