About the School

  • Holy Family School is a Catholic School open to all students in Kindergarten through Sixth Grade.
  • It is our mission as students, parents, teachers, staff, and parish members to spread God's word through our lessons, actions, and words.
  • Together, we are committed to providing a faith-filled and caring atmosphere where quality learning and spiritual growth occurs for all our members.
  • According to the Bishop's Pastoral, To teach as Jesus did, the main purpose of Catholic Education is to "Prepare it's members to proclaim the Good News and to translate this proclamation into action." Holy Family School is a family made up of students, parents, and staff in partnership with the parishes, community, and surrounding areas.
  • Foremost in our eyes is the academic and spiritual education of each child.
  • We believe children grow as they recognize they are valued, special, and unique in the eyes of God and others.
  • We also believe they learn in a variety of ways, and together, we work on presenting lessons and programs that will not only be relevant to them, but nurture their academic potential.
  • In our faith community, we strive for a constant growth not just for our students, but for all our members.
  • We're dedicated to the educational ministry of the church: proclaiming the gospel message, worship, community, and service to others.
  • We believe our gifts and talents need to be shared with others as we spread God's message through our words and actions.
