St. Peter the Apostle High School was a Roman Catholic high school that operated in New Brunswick, in Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen.




History


Saint Peter the Apostle Church sponsored parochial schools from its early history. The Sisters of Charity of Convent Station were invited to staff the schools in 1867. In 1892, St. Peter's opened a new building, Columbia Hall, which would house the elementary school until 1960 and the high school until 1970.
The high school closed at the end of the 2006-07 school year in the wake of falling enrollment. Enrollment at the school had reached a thousand students in the 1960s but dropped to 165 in its final year of operation, leading the diocese and parish to conclude that they could "no longer sustain the enormous expense" of subsidizing annual deficits.
The school buildings were eventually sold to the City of New Brunswick, which housed a public school, in them, the Lincoln Annex School. In 2020 the Board of Education sold the school to the New Brunswick Development Corporation (DEVCO), which had the building demolished to make way for Jack and Sheryl Morris Cancer Center, a new facility of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.




Athletics


The boys basketball team won the Non-Public Group A state championship in 1936 (defeating Our Lady of Good Counsel High School of Newark in the tournament final) and 1939 (vs. Immaculate Conception High School of Montclair), and won the Non-Public B title in 1968 (vs. St. Mary of the Assumption High School). The 1939 team won the Parochial Group II title (since reclassified by the NJSIAA as Non-Public A) with a 22-18 win against Immaculate Conception of Montclair. The 1968 team finished the season with a record of 63-59 win in the Parochial B championship game.
The girls tennis team won the Non-Public B state championship in 1983, defeating Pope John XXIII Regional High School in the tournament final.
The girls basketball team won the Non-Public B state title in 1985 (defeating St. Anthony High School in the tournament final), 1991 (vs. Immaculate Conception High School of Montclair) and 1992 (vs. DePaul Catholic High School). The 1992 team won the Non-Public B state title with a 69-56 win against DePaul in the finals at Rider College and entered the Tournament of Champions as the second seed, winning in the semis 69-56 against sixth-seeded South Hunterdon Regional High School before taking the ToC title in the finals played at the Meadowlands Arena by a score of 51-45 against fifth-seed Egg Harbor Township High School to cap off a 32-0 record for the season. Kristin Somogyi, who led the 1992 team scoring 37.9 points per game and named as the state's player of the year, set the New Jersey career scoring record with 3,899 points, breaking the record that had been set by her father in 1968.

St Peter the Apostle High School is a Roman Catholic high school in Drumry, Clydebank, Scotland. It was formed as an amalgamation of the former St Columba's High School and St Andrew's High School. St Peter the Apostle High School is one of two Roman Catholic secondary schools in West Dunbartonshire.
St Peter the Apostle High School is a Roman Catholic comprehensive school serving the northern part of Clydebank, the village of Duntocher, Faifley, Hardgate and the Drumchapel area of Glasgow. Students come in substantial numbers from Old Kilpatrick, Knightswood and Scotstoun. Five primary schools provide the great majority of the first-year intake including; St Mary's Primary School, St Joseph's Primary School, St Eunan's Primary School, St Stephen's Primary School, and St Clare's Primary School, although a variety of others add to this number.




History


In 2009, West Dunbartonshire Council started a project with Bam construction to create new schools in the area. The previous Catholic secondary schools in Clydebank, St Columba's High School and St Andrew's High School were to be merged to form the new school, the campus for which was built on the sports grounds of St Columba's to allow the existing school to operate during construction of the new building. After the opening of St Peter the Apostle High School, the former St Columba's High School building was demolished, with the new St Eunan's Primary School built on this site. The cost to build the new school was £35m.
