Saint Patrick School is committed to providing Catholic education to the children and youth of the parish.
This commitment is realized in our elementary school where we strive to be an expression of the mission entrusted by Jesus to the Church.
St. Patrick School believes that every child, created in God's image and likeness, is a unique individual.
In the lifelong process of education, this child grows spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, aesthetically and physically.
We endeavor to foster this growth through our teaching ministry by proclaiming the Gospel Message of hope, peace and justice, taught and lived in a Faith Community, that worships together and reaches out in Service to others.
The mission of St. Patrick School is to provide a quality education in a Catholic environment that promotes love of God, positive self-esteem, personal responsibility, and respect for others and the world around us following the example of Jesus Christ.
