We believe education is a never-ending process of growth and challenge. Education enriches the whole person: soul, mind, and body. We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children and that teachers, together with them, facilitate the learning process. We believe children learn and succeed in a caring atmosphere where they are given the opportunity to see their value.
Catholic education strives to reinforce the principles and values of the Church, home, and community to mold tomorrow’s citizens. We strive to create and maintain an environment that develops virtue, promotes social interaction, and provides an academic challenge for our students.
Parent involvement in the education process is crucial for each child’s development. We encourage our parents to engage in the partnership of educating our children and to communicate regularly with our teachers, volunteer to coach, participate in faith development, and celebrate with other families at social events.
