Old Mission Catholic School, in partnership with our parent community, fosters academic excellence while embracing faith-based teachings in a safe, healthy, and ethical environment. The philosophy of Old Mission Catholic School focuses on working cooperatively to develop three ideals: spirituality; integrity; and academic excellence. We work collectively to achieve an innovative and disciplined school environment. While emphasizing core curriculum, we encourage discovery, challenge, high academic standards, and service to others.
