Welcome St. Michael School Alumni!
As graduates and former students of St. Michael School, we share a lasting bond to our alma mater and to each other. It is my hope that you have come to this page to both re-connect and recollect:
- To re-connect with former classmates and teachers, and
- To recollect, via photos and features, fond memories of childhood school days.
When the Sisters of Mercy opened St. Michael School in the fall of 1873 in a converted home on the corner of Liberty and Robinson Streets in Pawcatuck, perhaps in their humility they did not anticipate the impact their little school would have or the longevity it would endure.
Today, more than a century and half later, St. Michael School — now housed in the former West Broad Street School at 131 West Broad — continues to provide a Catholic education to children in southeastern Connecticut and southern Rhode Island.
More importantly, the contributions of our graduates are felt near and far.
I invite you to email me at jfiore@stmichaelschoolct.com with the following: 1) current contact information as we strive to update alumni mailing lists and 2) pertinent news to be shared with users of this website.
No matter where life has taken you, the values, friendships and memories formed at St. Michael School continue to shape who we are. I welcome your involvement and support, and I look forward to hearing from you!

The biographies in the Luminary anthology feature St. Michael School alumni and former teachers, and were written and illustrated in the 2025-26 academic year by then seventh and eighth graders of St. Michael School. The students drafted their biographies based on oral interviews conducted on December 3, 2025.
