Roanoke Catholic School is dedicated to excellence in education and to the spiritual development of youth within the framework of the Gospel and the tradition of the Catholic Church; however, students aren't required to be Catholic.
Our fundamental task is the education of the whole person, blending learning with faith and faith with daily life.
We strive to instill in our students a lifelong commitment to learning, to Christian values, and to community service.
We are dedicated to achieving these goals in a supportive Christian community.
