Prairie Catholic School enjoys a rich heritage that many prior generations have sacrificed to attain.
Prairie Catholic Schools combines the concepts of God's light in the world and the light of knowledge we strive to kindle in our students.
As Catholic School educators, we hope to light the way through a faith-based education that supports the whole child in learning about and leading a fulfilled life.
Our students, in turn, will "light the way" to a brighter future through leadership in their communities, church, businesses and families.
A distinct characteristic of Prairie Catholic School is that we provide a God centered education rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition.
Our school in cooperation and partnership with parents, and supported by the greater Catholic community of St. Gabriel's Parish and St. John's Parish, strives to assist each student to relate faith and Gospel teachings to life situations.
We strive to develop a Catholic Christian identity in the students through daily religious instruction and the conscious infusion of Christian values and beliefs.
The principles of Church teachings on morality, justice and life issues are infused throughout all subject areas.
We guide students in the deepening of their faith commitment to Christ.
