Our goal is to help our students grow into full, practicing members of the Catholic Church and be at the center of evangelization which calls on our students to live fully the message of Christ. Christ’s teachings and messages are the center of the student’s academic excellence where the school is fully committed to helping each individual child develop as a whole person: spiritually, morally, intellectually, physically, and socially.
