Mission and Philosophy
Our Mission
Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School is the primary educational ministry of Saints Peter and Paul Parish. Since 1865, the school has existed to serve the youth of our parish and to help parents in passing on the Catholic faith to their children. At present, our program includes an early childhood learning center, kindergarten, and grades 1 through 8. We serve the students, parents and the community of Saints Peter and Paul and neighboring communities. We strive to:
- help families pass on the knowledge, beliefs, and traditions of the Catholic faith to their children.
- provide an atmosphere of caring and respect for each human person regardless of race or ethnic origin.
- create an environment which encourages academic excellence, and the development of individual talents and abilities.
- work in partnership with families, to instill Christian values, and guide children toward becoming responsible, caring adults.
Our Philosophy
We believe that each of us has been created by God and each of us has been blessed in many ways we have yet to discover.
We believe Catholic Education promotes human development and fosters growth in all individual and social human dimensions - spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional, and physical - through a ministry embracing a message of faith, taught and lived in community and reaching out service to others.
We strive for academic excellence in all curricular areas, the development of a positive self-concept, and good moral values.
In order to help each child develop to his or her fullest potential, we believe in the shared responsibility of students, parents, teachers, administrators, and pastors.
