Due to the evolving conditions of COVID-19 in Dallas County, St. Philip’s School and Community Center will be changing how we operate effective Monday, March 23. At this time, all events, activities and non-essential programming has been suspended. Our Executive Leadership Team is assessing this crisis and our adjustments daily, along with the rest of the country. We will manage week be week assessments of all we are doing and its impact on students, external programming, and our surrounding neighborhood.
We will keep this page updated with the latest communications about our response to COVID-19.
