The week of January 27 to February 2 is National Catholic Schools Week in America, and Beaver County is home to several different educational institutions that follow the Catholic faith.
Cindy Baldrige has served in Catholic education for over four decades, including the last 8 as principal for Sts. Peter & Paul in Beaver. In a brief interview with Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County, Baldrige talked about the keys to sustaining success in Catholic education, as well as an update on Our Lady of Fatima (where she spent last year as their principal but has since been replaced).
Interviews during National Catholic Schools Week are brought to you by Fischer’s Beaver Falls Save-A-Lot, Fischer’s New Brighton Foodland, Fischer’s Beverage, the Beaver Valley Auto Mall, Rome Inspirations, and Beaver County Radio.

UPDATE: Beaver Falls police have released the name of the person who was taken into custody Monday afternoon after a SWAT situation in the city. Officers went to an apartment complex on 17th Avenue in Beaver Falls, which is not far from Beaver Falls Senior High School, where they arrested 22-year-old Isaiah Carr of Ellwood City. According to police, Carr was wanted on a felony aggravated assault warrant out of North Sewickley Township. Carr was found at his girlfriend’s apartment, alone, and without any weapons. This happened as classes were being let out for the day so both the high school and middle school buses were rerouted because they could not enter the Pleasantview Homes area. According to the district’s superintendent, the buses were brought back to the buildings for family to pick up students. The law enforcement matter was resolved before elementary buses were dismissed so those buses went out on time, but may have been slightly delayed. Carr is now facing additional charges because of Monday’s incident.
