Our Tradition
We are a Christ-centered Catholic community working together with the primary educators – the parents – to empower each child with the ability to make informed decisions as a capable, connected, and contributing citizen, through the development of respect, responsibility, and concern for others.
Our Vision
It’s the back of the student’s head as she/he is walking out the door.
We have already looked into their eyes.
We have given them hugs and nudges.
We have interacted, laughed, lectured, coordinated a thousand “hands on” projects.
We have worshiped beside them.
We have rejoiced in their successes.
We have helped them turn their imperfect attempts, into learning experiences.
We have felt our own hearts break with some of their deepest hurts.
We have strategized with their parents to empower their growth.
We have come to realize, so clearly, that is not about us, that we actually celebrate the back of their head walking out the door.
Because, we know, they are ready for the next step of a very sacred journey in which we have been PRIVILEGED to share.
They are strong and on the move away from us, faith-filled and compassionate.
This is our Vision:
The Back of their heads
And a very purposeful walk
Into their successful future
We Believe
We believe that we must do what we can with what we have in the time we are given in this very place.
We believe that as good as we are at what we do, we must always get better, that as we invite and challenge them to learn and grow, so must we.
We believe that GOD is part of every aspect of this Holy task…that He has called us to it and He will see us through it.
We believe this involves the children entrusted to our care that every single one of them can learn, grow, and succeed.
We believe that we must partner with parents and grandparents, pastors and custodians, cooks and cousins.
We believe there is a child of God behind every choice we make.
