St. Patrick School

St. Patrick School is an integral part of our parish's commitment to lifelong formation and education within a Catholic, Christian environment.
Our mission is to emulate our patron, St. Patrick, through our professional staff, in partnership with the family.
We will foster nurture a strong belief in God and prayer; work with all people; value all people because they are worthy of mutual acceptance; spread God's word through example; and provide all children with a quality academic program that prepares them for the future.
St. Patrick School is a Catholic co-educational school serving elementary and middle school students.
In partnership with the family, parish and civic community, the school assists students in the acquisition of knowledge, skills and values necessary to the development of a mature responsible individual.
Inspired by the example of St. Patrick as educator and missionary, students are presented with a two fold challenge; first, to fulfill their intellectual potential through the pursuit of truth and knowledge; and second, to fulfill their human potential by working for the common good in light of gospel values.
In concert with the Archdiocese of Louisville's strategic plan for lifelong formation and education, St.
Patrick School fosters an atmosphere where academic and cultural differences are acknowledged, respected and celebrated.
St. Patrick School recognizes the individuality of each student. The school seeks to balance academic and spiritual growth with concern for physical and emotional development.
St. Patrick School will provide and environment in which truth and love are developed together.
