As a Catholic school, we are called to promote the Gospel message of community and service to others based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church.
It is our intent that, in this setting, all students will strive to discover, experience, and share their dignity as persons through worship, education, and daily Christian living.
Saint Martha School recognizes itself as a dedicated community of teachers, parents, and students given the opportunity to teach and learn together.
We believe that Saint Martha School shares with the home, the church, and the community the responsibility for the total development of the students, realizing that the parents are the primary educators of their children.
Saint Martha School, therefore, is dedicated to presenting a pattern of life - spiritual, intellectual, and social values - which leads to the formation of the whole person according to Christian teaching.
