One Room School House
In the early settling of Roseto, there were several one-room schoolhouses. One was located on the corner of what is now Columbus Avenue and Route 191, one was on Front Street, and one on North Street.
 

Columbus School

After Roseto was incorporated in 1912, the Columbus Public School was built providing education for children in grades 1 through 8. After graduating from the 8th grade the children went to Bangor High School to continue their education. Columbus School became a part of the Bangor Area Jointure School system. In 1978 the Bangor Area School District decided to close Columbus School, declaring the school unusable. The school was deeded back to Roseto.

Convent & First Catholic School

 

Faith Christian School
Today, Faith Christian is operating the school and has created a good educational environment for a large number of students in this private school.
 

Priests
The town matured through wars, depression, economic highs and lows.  It always stayed its course on tradition and supportive family values.  Our community never forgot the valuable advice Fr. DeNisco gave our town many years ago when he urged parents to send their children to school.  We have always supported education, whether it is public or parochial, and parents continue to encourage their children to go to college. Our town has evolved through all the economic cycles, wars, political ups and downs, and changes in its ethnic population.  Through the years of changes there still remain the traditions and family support system that was instilled in us from generation to generation.

 

Father Ducci and his assistant Father Leone, the resident priests of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church, were the moving forces in fulfilling Father DeNisco's educational dream for the members of the community.
 

Convent
In 1940 a convent was built, which housed the nuns and included a classroom for kindergarten.
 

 

 

Our Lady of Mount Carmel School
By 1945 Our Lady of Mt Carmel School had grades K through 8.

PIUS X

 

 PIUS X
A few years later in 1947 Puis X High School was built. The teachers for the elementary school at that time were the Salesian Sisters whose Mother House was in Haledon, NJ, and the St. Joseph nuns taught at Pius X. Pius X has since become a diocesan school. Two Sisters of Charity who will be teaching at Pius X High School presently occupy the old convent.
