From its founding, the mission of St. Gabriel School has been to provide Catholic elementary education which is responsive to the needs of the community.
At St. Gabriel School, it is our belief that each student should cultivate a lifestyle based on the teachings of the Catholic faith, the experience of a Christian community, and the striving for truth.
In collaboration with parents, the primary educators, our goal is that each student should achieve his/her religious, intellectual, social, psychological, aesthetic, and physical potential.
