St. Leo Elementary School
About the School
- We, the Christian educators, models, and servers of St. Leo School are the instruments for creating future generations of active, believing, Catholic Christians.
- We strive to accomplish this by serving God, each other, our students and their families, as well as our community and society.
- To teach as Jesus did, is the purpose of our existence.
- We try to develop in our students a familiarity with Christ so that they may respond to God as total Christians.
- One of our major goals is to instill in our children a sense of uniqueness that can be used to benefit themselves and others.
- Another would be to develop Christian values that they can realistically take into a modern world.
- We endeavor to establish in the children, their full potential, intellectually as well as emotionally, encouraging them to become leaders in their community.
- We strive to achieve these goals by keeping a viable line of communication open with students, parents, and community.
