The Mission of St. Christopher School is to be a faith community of living witnesses to the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.
Inspired by the example of St. Christopher, our patron saint, we seek to bear Christ to one another in our school, parish and community.
We recognize that each child entrusted to our care is created in the image and likeness of God.
To that end we are committed to creating a safe learning environment that fosters academic excellence as well as spiritual, moral and social development. St. Christopher School is dedicated to creating life-long learners.

School Notes
- St. Christopher's Parochial School was founded in 1925 under the aegis of the Sisters of St. Joseph. Today, under the direction of a dedicated, professional religious and lay faculty, St. Christopher's continues its tradition of excellence. Recognizing each student as unique, we strive to develop the whole person through a spiritual, academic, physical and aesthetic education. We employ creative, innovative and practical methods in our teaching. It is our belief that we must prepare our students to be critical-thinkers, responsible, loving, service-oriented citizens in preparation for the years to come and eternity. Thus we strive to fulfill Jesus' command, "to love our neighbor as ourselves".
