Philosophy
We believe that each Catholic school as part of a larger believing community has the mission to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through excellence in educational programs and service to the Catholic community in particular, and to society in general. The foundations of Catholic belief and practice are taught while developing a sense of community atmosphere for worship and a concern for social justice. These themes permeate all aspects of the school organization and curriculum to meet the religious academic, personal, and social needs of children.
Goals
To develop Catholic Christians who know and love their faith and are committed to the work of the Church in building up the kingdom of God.
To teach students to learn not on their own understanding, but to trust God to lovingly direct their lives and to seek their fullest potential as children of God.
To encourage parents to support the mission of the school by teaching Christian values at home and by volunteering at the school.
To nurture and sustain a faculty committed to spiritual and professional development.
