Our school is a community of learning. As part of the Catholic Church, it strives to teach the proper behavior of Christian citizens. The faculty and staff set an orderly environment so that the educational process may take place. Students are expected to be cooperative and willing to learn. Parents (the first teachers) are expected to support the commitment of the Catholic school. Spiritual development is encouraged through weekly attendance at liturgies prepared by the students and teachers. The reception of the sacraments, daily religion classes, and prayer helps to support their faith development. The efforts of all will make our educational environment unified, harmonious and successful; hence, a learning community based on strong spiritual values.
