St. Mary's Visitation Catholic Parish School exists to direct children toward God and toward Christian service to society through Catholic religious formation, academic challenge and continuous improvement.
Here, students grow into "the St. Mary's Visitation Way." Catholic formation and academic excellence are equally important and both are intended to lead students to realize the love of God in their own lives and to serve Christ's Gospel mission to impact the world.
Respect, responsibility and right relationships are the foundations of our school community life.
