Our Beliefs

• Each person is created in God’s image and deserves dignity and respect.
• Positive and supportive collaboration among the administration, faculty, parents, and students promotes a strong community spirit which is a hallmark of our school.

• A Catholic education encourages students to grow intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, socially, and physically. A Catholic environment promotes high moral, ethical and intellectual standards for all students.
• Faith formation begins in the home. Parents [and guardians] teach and lead their children to Christ through daily prayer and living according to the Word of God.
• Faculty and students use their talents and faith to be Christ-like while serving each other, the community, and the world.
• All children have a right to safety, love, and a faith-based education. All children have a right to deepen their relationship with Jesus through prayer and sacraments.
• Education is a responsibility shared by the student, the family, the faculty, and the parish community.
