St. John the Baptist Catholic School Community strives to provide a nurturing Catholic Christian environment.
Our goal is to prepare students to become productive citizens, active parishioners, and life long learners, who can meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.
We believe each student is a child of God deserving respect; children should be developed spiritually, intellectually and physically; instruction integrates Catholic values and academic excellence; students learn through various learning styles; self-discipline is the best discipline; technology should be utilized across the curriculum; students should be provided with opportunities to serve others; parents, teachers, and staff are partners in education; and students need a positive safe structured environment for learning.

School Reviews

My daughter has gone to St. John's for 4 years. We couldn't be happier with it. The education is excellent and the staff is very dedicated. Class sizes are fairly small, and my daughter gets plenty of one on one time with a teacher or aid. Everything is centered around God while being fun & relatable to the kids. The campus is clean and up-to-date with technology. I highly recommend St. John's.
Endorse St. John The Baptist Catholic School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
