St. Anne School is a PK3–8 private, Roman Catholic coeducational college preparatory school located in Columbus, Georgia. The school was founded in 1868 and it is located next to Pacelli High School.
History
In 1868, the Sisters of Mercy purchased a home in Downtown Columbus, Georgia and converted it into a convent. In that same year, St. Joseph's Academy, a K–8 school, was formed at that same location. The school remained in Downtown Columbus until 1952, when population growth led to the establishment of a new Catholic school near Midtown Columbus. St. Joseph's then merged with this school.[1]
Until St. Anne Church was built in 1961, the school operated under the name Holy Family School, and was operated by the Church of the Holy Family. The name was then changed to St. Anne School. In 2008, it was joined with Pacelli High School.
