Parent Experience

History
St. Frederick High School traces its roots to St. Hyacinth Academy, founded in 1864, which served the community until St. Matthew School was built in 1927. In 1960 Laura Bres Breard Rinehart donated ten acres on Louisville Avenue to the Diocese of Alexandria for a new Catholic high school named for her son Rae Frederick Rinehart. The Diocese used the sale proceeds to purchase the present campus and the school was erected in 1964, with the Daughters of the Cross staffing St. Frederick for a few years. In the late 1960s the school integrated Catholic education by welcoming students from Little Flower Academy under Franciscan Sisters. Site enhancements followed, including Monsignor Marsh Gymnasium (1975); the band room was dedicated in 1984 and the field house opened in 1990; the Chapel of Saints Mary and Daniel was completed in 1997; major renovations in 1995 remodeled the band room into a library and upgraded the chemistry lab; the Breard Alumni Center remodeling began in 2012-13 and a 2015 strength complex was completed.

Community
St. Frederick High School emphasizes service as a pathway to personal growth, describing the act of strengthening the community through service as a cornerstone of character development. Students are encouraged to engage in service opportunities that shape the world and develop leadership. The school also highlights a family atmosphere and a caring Christian environment where students are able to pray openly with staff and peers. These elements create a close-knit community that supports both academics and faith-based engagement.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The SFHS Parents' Association is a volunteer organization made up of parents who are dedicated to the successful education of their children. The Association works to make the school year enjoyable and exciting for students, teachers, and parents, and provides many needs not covered by the budget. The four committees are Fundraising, Teachers Appreciation, Socials, and Outreach. Fundraising events include Fall Raffle, Winter/Spring Auction, and Fun Food Friday, which support school projects such as the junior/senior prom. The Association maintains an active Board, with roles including President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and committee leads, and invites all SFHS families to get involved.
