We work in partnership with parents to prepare our students to become full, active members of the Church, to serve others, and to make a difference in the world.
We are committed to the development of the whole person, to enable each child to become a morally responsible citizen, a competent, productive contributor to the work force, and a thinking, fulfilled individual in a diverse society.
We, at St. Patrick School, seek to develop moral and spiritual individuals.
We expect our students to embrace the importance and value of prayer, personal reflection, and the guidance of Christ's message.
Our students learn to appreciate, understand, and internalize the Catholic faith.
Our goal is to develop a solid base in life strategies in order for them to make healthy and courageous choices.
St. Patrick School strives to provide a classroom environment that develops the whole child.
Mastering academic standards and developing leadership, technological, and organizational skills is the immediate impetus behind all instruction.
