We are in the midst of an exciting year at St. James Parish as we consolidate our parish school and formation center into a single state-of-the-art facility where both school families and parish families can grow deeper in their faith with God.
The St. James family is a welcoming Catholic community sent forth from our celebration of the Eucharist to walk in faith, to live in hope, and act in love.
As disciples of Jesus Christ we are committed to justice and peace through prayer, education, evangelization, and stewardship.
Great school for my kids. We had a great experience from the very beginning. Since my kids started attending St. James my kids have grown academically and emotionally. They have caught up in the areas that public school has had them fall behind. I wish I would have had them start in private schools earlier.The school needs better recess facilities or area, but they are limited on space. Lunches are good and the kids are very friendly and respectful of one another.The school is always trying ans improving. Our experience has been a very pleasant one.
