St. Michael the Archangel School educates the whole child from Preschool through 8th grade
St. Michael the Archangel School is a Catholic faith-centered community within the larger parish family.
We strive daily to create a suitable atmosphere in which students are formed with mature, open-minded, Christian attitudes.
We believe in the tremendous dignity of each individual.
No two students are exactly alike. Therefore, each student brings his or her uniqueness to the learning situation.
So, we strive to provide a succession of positive experiences enabling each child to fully develop his or her potential.
Logical discipline and consistency, which are aspects of orderly learning, are therefore stressed in St. Michael the Archangel School.
Finally, we believe in the sincere, whole-hearted support and cooperation of the parents who have entrusted their children to our care.
