Be it known to all who enter here that CHRIST is the reason for this school. He is the unseen, but ever-present teacher in its classes. He is the model of its faculty and inspiration of its students. Thus, our mission is to teach Catholic doctrine and to develop strong Christian values that give children a knowledge and love of God and their community. Dedicated faculty educates the whole child, considering each student’s mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, as well as his or her intellectual development. Our end goal is the development of responsible, moral, and caring individuals within the faith community and the world at large. We strive to educate our students in a loving and caring way.
