Welcome to Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic School!
Dear Families,
Welcome to Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic School, where faith, academic excellence, and community come together to nurture the hearts, minds, and spirits of every child. We are honored that you are considering becoming part of our school family.
At Saint Francis of Assisi, we believe that every child is a unique gift from God, created with purpose and called to grow in wisdom, compassion, and faith. Rooted in the Gospel and inspired by the charism of Saint Francis, we strive each day to see Christ in all, to be Christ for all, and to be peacemakers in our homes, our community, and our world. In a time when peace, love, respect for one another, and reverence for all life are more important than ever, these Franciscan values shape everything we do.
Our commitment to academic excellence prepares students not only for success in high school and beyond but also for lives of integrity, service, and leadership. Our rigorous curriculum challenges students to think critically, communicate effectively, and develop a lifelong love of learning. We maintain high expectations because we believe in the God-given potential of every student. Just as importantly, our dedicated teachers know each child personally and care deeply about their growth, encouraging them with patience, compassion, and genuine joy.
We recognize that children learn in different ways and at different paces. Through our LUPO Resource Department, we provide thoughtful support for students who benefit from additional academic guidance, helping each child develop confidence while reaching his or her fullest potential. We are committed to partnering with families to ensure that every student feels known, valued, and supported.
Learning extends well beyond the classroom. Our after-school athletic programs, cheerleading squad, and robust extended care program provide opportunities for students to discover their talents, develop discipline, build lasting friendships, and learn the values of teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. These experiences help form well-rounded young people who understand that true success is measured not only by achievement but also by character.
Most importantly, Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic School is a community of faith. Prayer, worship, service, and the teachings of Jesus Christ are woven throughout each day, inviting our students to deepen their relationship with God while learning to serve others with humility and compassion. Together, we seek to form young disciples who will become thoughtful leaders, faithful Catholics, and compassionate citizens who make a positive difference in the world.
Thank you for considering Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic School. We invite you to visit our campus, meet our exceptional faculty and staff, and experience firsthand the joyful spirit that makes our school such a special place. We would be honored to partner with you in the sacred work of educating your child.
May God bless you and your family, and may the peace of Christ be with you always.
With gratitude and blessings,
