Everything my husband & I needed in a school/community for our children. St Pats has exceptional teachers, organized & responsive administration, wonderful/inclusive families, top-notch Principal who shows leadership & has made this a successful & thriving school & community. I couldn't ask for anything better. My children are in the best environment for learning academically & learning about their faith as well.

A wonderful school that we have been grateful to be a part of for many years. The close-knit community, dedicated staff, and outstanding curriculum had us hooked after our first child attended preschool. 9 years later we couldn't be happier with our decision to send all of our children here.
