EDUCATING FOR FAITH, FAMILY AND FUTURE

FAITH - Nurturing a love for God and living out our faith in the community of the church.

FAMILY - Welcoming and celebrating the importance of family and community as partners in the education of our children, the development of strong moral character with respect for all, and the learning community of our school. 

FUTURE - Elevating academic excellence through innovative, engaging, and enriching learning experiences that prepare graduates for the 21st century and support them in achieving their highest potential.  

Open to students of all faiths and cultures, a Catholic education prepares your child for all of life’s tests. Our students receive superior academic instruction instilled with Christian values of the Roman Catholic Tradition. Academically, students benefit from small class sizes and experienced, caring faculty.
