Overview
Resurrection Catholic School dates back to October 6, 1882, when five Sisters of Perpetual Adoration arrived in Pascagoula to establish a convent and conduct a school.
The Sisters began teaching in the school, called the Academy of the Guardian Angels, immediately; initial enrollment was 47 students.
In partnership with home, parish, and community, students are taught Christian attitudes and values in order to develop a moral, ethical, and spiritual foundation for making appropriate choices.
Students need an orderly, purposeful, caring atmosphere which is free from the threat of physical harm and conducive to teaching and learning.
Our mission is to provide a nurturing atmosphere where each student can reach his full potential as a well-educated, caring, and responsible Christian who can meet the challenges of a challenging society.
St. Alphonsus School is the model Catholic Elementary School centered around God and focused on developing children with strong moral character, outstanding academic performance, and enhanced skills necessary for success in higher education and life.
St. Alphonsus School's mission is to provide a Catholic elementary school that is a living Christian community supported by teachers, parents, and clergy working together to provide a broad competitive curriculum, which challenges its children academically and spiritually through self-discipline and service to God and community.
