Catholic School Identity

Mission

Philosophy

The goal of Catholic education is to prepare young people for the future and to help them meet the challenges of life as Christians. St. Louis Catholic School educates children in a Christian environment that is “God–centered.” Pastor, parents, principal, teachers, staff, and students are all involved in an ongoing process of building the Body of Christ. The school ministers to the whole child, complementing the home in helping each child to develop their full potential (spiritually, intellectually, socially, and physically). In harmony with our Catholic faith, each child will grow in faith, service, and excellence.
