St. John's Catholic High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Beloit, Kansas, United States. The school is within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salina.
History
Pioneer Catholic settlers in the Beloit area had a deep concern for the education of their children. In the fall of 1879 with 15 students, St. John's Catholic School was founded in a small one room building. By 1900, enrollment reached 140 students thus creating a need for a larger more structured school building. Local farmers quarried and hauled stone and sand to the present site. A German craftsman supervised construction of the present building that was completed in 1914.{{citation needed|date=July 2013}}
The high school started in 1920 and occupied the same building until the present high school was built in 1952.{{citation needed|date=July 2013}}
Today, the parish and families still hold the same passion to educate and form their children and grandchildren in the Catholic faith while giving them a complete and competitive education.{{citation needed|date=July 2013}}
In March 2013, St. John's was selected as the Catholic School of the Month. This brought congratulations from Catholic dignitaries, authors, and others.{{citation needed|date=July 2013}}{{Cite journal|last=Matheny|first=Ruth A.|title=School of the Month: St. John's Catholic School, Beloit, Kansas|url=todayscatholicteacher.com|journal=Today's Catholic Teacher}}
