We strive to create a learning atmosphere where each student has the opportunity to reach his/her highest academic potential while, at the same time, growing spiritually in Christian love.

As Catholic educators, we strive to generate in our students a love of God, a commitment to the teaching of the Gospel, and a wholesome desire to serve the people of God in the community in which we live. This is done through religious guidance, which is integrated throughout the curriculum and school activities. We are committed to respect the life and dignity of each person in the building of a community in Jesus’ name.
