School Notes Overview:

Burning in each child is the light of Christ. Our commitment is to keep that light burning brightly through our staff's professionalism and dedication. Our parents, students, faculty and staff pride themselves on making St. Peter's a home for excellence and achievement fostered by the appreciation of God's presence in each individual. At the heart of our mission is our desire to bring all children to a deeper knowledge and love of God.

Because our school strives to be a faith community, parent cooperation and good parent-teacher relations are essential.
