(Laredo, Tx)-For 88 years, St. Peter’s Memorial School Raiders have been a major part of the Laredo community. However, raiders are pirates and an image many at this Catholic elementary and middle school felt was not appropriate for the students to portray.
After a year-long process of research and design, the school unveiled their new mascot: the St. Peter’s Memorial School Crusaders.
Alumni and family and friends of St. Peter’s were a part of this special celebration.
St. Peter’s Memorial School is one of the oldest Catholic schools in Laredo. First established in 1925, the school was run under the auspices of the Ursuline Sisters until 1968, and then the Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco. Now part of the Catholic Diocese of Laredo, the school offers classes from level K3 through 8th grade and typically serves approximately 180 students each year.
