School Notes

- The administrative structure greatly impacts the total education and our ability to create an environment that is conducive to academic and spiritual growth.
- The principal looks to the pastor for guidance, support, and encouragement to provide effective leadership for the school.
- The collaboration of the pastor and the principal facilitates decisions in the area of staffing, financing, fund raising and improving the physical plant.
- Our mission is to teach our students about God, His Commandments, His Sacraments and His Love.
- We strive to foster in each child a sense of self-worth and an appreciation of his or her own talents.
- Our school is about students and helping them meet their highest potential as children of God.
- Because we are convinced each Christian has an obligation to bring Christ to the world through service and the elimination of injustices, we develop within our students a concern for others.
