As a vital part of the Church, we challenge our students to become life-long learners as part of a Christ-centered community.
The purpose of St. Dominic Savio Catholic School is to know and follow Jesus Christ, the center and focus of our parish community.
Fostered by the Eucharist, we are dedicated to being spiritual companions who proclaim the Gospel message.
We recognize parents as the first and foremost catechists of their children.
Together, we work to develop the individual - spiritually, morally, intellectually, aesthetically, emotionally, socially and physically.

We pledge ourselves to the ideals of peace and justice by developing a sense of compassion for those in need. We respond to Jesus Christ through serving others.
