Holy Family Catholic School, supported by family, faculty and parish, will inspire young minds to grow in the Catholic faith and to live the message of the Gospel through education, experience, and example.
We believe that Catholic education has been entrusted to us by Jesus, Himself.
This education ministry seeks to communicate religious truths and Gospel values, provides for a vital experience of faith within a Christian community and inspires apostolic action.
Holy Family Catholic School is a community of faith, where parents, the primary educators of children, work together with teachers in a spirit of mutual respect and commitment.
We strive together to help the child integrate Catholic truths and values with all of life.
Holy Family Catholic School educates through faith and life experiences, in addition to academic programs.
We strive to prepare the child to be a vital member of a changing world and to actively participate in the local and parish community.
We challenge each child to live a life of prayer, personal responsibility and freedom reflective of Gospel values.
