In the spirit of evangelization and collaboration, St. John the Baptist School serves not only children of the parish, but also children of parishes which have no school, as well as non-Catholic children from our community.
Our vision for St. John the Baptist School is to become the Catholic educational cornerstone for building a Christ-centered and prosperous future for the students, parish and community we serve.
They are expected to contribute to the mission of the Parish by sharing their time, talent (by giving of their time and volunteering themselves and using their gifts / talents and abilities in service to the parish community) and treasure (through tithing and financial stewardship to the parish by using the collection envelopes).
