Expanding Opportunities at Queen of Peace School

Phase 1: Building a Foundation for Growth

The journey began in June 2022, with the groundbreaking of Phase 1 of our building plan. This milestone delivered significant upgrades:

South Side Expansion: Three new classrooms and two single-use bathrooms now serve our preschool and one of our two kindergarten classes.

North Side Expansion: A 1,600-square-foot STEM lab was added, featuring garage doors that open to the courtyard. This innovative space is perfect for environmental education and collaborative technology use. Across the hall, we added two additional classrooms for fourth and fifth grades, along with a multi-use bathroom, a single-use bathroom, and extra storage.
 
On June 6, 2023, Archbishop Sample blessed these new spaces during his visit, marking a joyous milestone for our school community.

PHASE 2: 4 NEW CLASSROOMS

Phase 2 of our expansion began in the winter of 2024, with the addition of four new classrooms. These new spaces provide room for two classes of each grade level and were completed just in time for the 2024-2025 school year, allowing us to meet the needs of our growing student body.

PHASE 3: THE POTTER’S WORKSHOP

Phase 3 – The Potter’s Workshop was completed in March of 2026. A dedicated space for music, art, and childcare, this beautiful new space also serves as a youth center for our parish on nights and weekends. Archbishop Sample celebrated Mass with our school and blessed The Potter’s Workshop on May 21, 2026.

PHASE 4: COVERED OUTDOOR PLAY AREA

Scheduled for completion in Winter of 2027, our new covered outdoor sports area is a fully funded project in cooperation with our generous donors and school families. The covered area will be a wonderful outdoor play space for rainy Oregon days – “indoor recess” at Queen of Peace will soon be a thing of the past!
