education of the highest standards while embracing each child
within a Roman Catholic tradition. SPC, a preschool through eighth
grade school, is committed to the educational needs of all
students. From the moment upon entering the school campus, a
community grounded in a faith filled education supported by a
strong parent community surrounds you. At each grade level,
students are encouraged to be active participants and to serve
their community. Along with our families, our goal is to involve
all students in the mission of Jesus, love of God, and love of
their neighbor. Academically SPC provides a rigorous curriculum
that prepares students for high school and beyond. In addition to

Technology is evident in all classrooms and extended in the STEM

joint responsibility of the home and school and a strong parent
community supports SPC. We are all involved in the education of
each student and work to develop all aspects of student growth:
