History
Monsignor Peter B. O'Connor, first pastor of Queen of Peace Church, invited the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chestnut Hill to staff the newly formed Queen of Peace High School in September 1930. The sisters brought the spirit and spirituality of their congregation to their ministry of education at Queen of Peace by living out their mission: "We live and work so that all people may be united with God and with one another." For 30 years the Sisters of St. Joseph, the parish priests, and a few lay people formed the faculty and staff of Queen of Peace.
In 1960, the De La Salle Christian Brothers came to Queen of Peace to teach the boys while the Sisters of St. Joseph continued to teach the girls, making Queen of Peace a co-institutional high school. In 1981, Queen of Peace moved from being a co-institutional to a co-educational high school staffed by the Sisters of St. Joseph, the De La Salle Christian Brothers, and a dedicated lay faculty. St. Joseph and the De La Salle Christian Brothers are still "alive and well" at Queen of Peace.

“The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
