Saint Agnes School, as a Catholic School, strives to foster in its students strong academic achievement with personal character development as a foundation for living the Gospel message of Christ in the Twenty First Century.
St. Agnes Elementary School is committed to teaching the Gospel message of Christ; to building a community of administrators, faculty, students and parents characterized by sharing, educating and believing; and to serving through prayer, worship and social action.
We believe that the school assists the family in the intellectual, physical and spiritual development of the child.
We are committed to promoting excellence in education and to fostering a positive atmosphere of self-learning, critical thinking and peace making.nWe believe in working with the youth of the School Community to develop the skills to recognize and respond, as educated Christians, to injustices that exist within societies.
