About St. Michael Catholic School

St. Michael Catholic School is an integral part of St. Michael Parish. Opening at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year, we now provide education for Kindergarten through grade 8 and have a student body of around 200 by the start of the 2012-2013 school year. Our students are receiving an excellent education and learn the value of living a Catholic Christian Lifestyle.

Catholic Nature

St. Michael Catholic School provides a quality education where children can develop personally, academically, and spiritually. The teachings are based on Catholic tradition and are supported by parental and community involvement. The added dimension of shared values and support of the community and parish family provides a unique and valuable experience to any child exposed to this concept of education. We proudly proclaim our greatest accomplishment, a time-honored tradition of providing Catholic education to students in Kindergarten through grade 8. With the help of dedicated teachers, staff, administrators, families, and friends, we fulfill this commitment, guided by the School's Mission Statement to educate in faith, love and justice. We believe the human person is endowed by God with inherent dignity worthy of love and respect. The foundation of this belief is structured Catholic philosophy emphasizing faith, love and justice. It is based on a system of moral values and faith in the redemptive plan of God.

Philosophy Statement

Our classrooms are places where children are well cared for and safe. Young children need teachers who have the resources to work with them…individually, in small groups and as an entire class… to develop their cognitive and social skills, language abilities, and interest in learning new things about the world. St Michael School provides a curriculum which helps children build a strong foundation in the skills needed for success in school as well as their life.

Children at St. Michael are valued for their individual differences and each child is encouraged to develop, grow, and learn while being supported by qualified staff. The developmental needs of each child are taken into consideration when planning and implementation occurs, realizing that each child is unique and has their own specific needs. Academic excellence is encouraged while children are in the process of developing their intellects, imaginations, hearts and souls.
