Our school mission is leading to God the Father through His son Jesus Christ with the guidance of the Holy Spirit working together for academic excellence in an atmosphere of thanksgiving and worship, the gospel message, service to others and building Catholic community.
The Holy Family Catholic School is a partnership between parents, school and parish staff.
This partnership focuses on the spiritual growth of our children in their Catholic faith.
