St. John the Apostle Catholic School has been a symbol of excellence in Catholic education since 1965.  The first classes were held in temporary buildings while a permanent structure was constructed.  In the fall of the following year, 235 students in grades one through seven began school in the completed school building.  SJS accepted its first twenty-six kindergarten students in 1970, and the program was expanded to include Pre-Kindergarten in 1971.  A science room was added in 1972,  and a new library was built in 1977.  The next additions came in 1988, a joint effort with the parish producing four more classrooms, an updated science room, and the Family Life Center, which included a gymnasium. 

As a result of growing enrollment, in 2004 two new eighth grade classrooms and a Multi-Media Center, which houses a new library and computer lab, were added.  The school presently consists of 22 classrooms, library/media center, science lab, cafeteria, two computer labs, and a gymnasium.  Today, St. John the Apostle Catholic School continues to flourish, serving 305 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, with a faculty and staff of 34 dedicated individuals.

In 2008, St. John's was recognized as a NCLB National Blue Ribbon School, the only school in Tarrant County to receive such an award in that year.
