The primary mission of St Theresa School is to educate our students to become compassionate, caring members of society, possessing a deep faith in God who will guide them in their decision-making in the years to come.
The pursuit of excellence in the classroom is accomplished through a dedicated faculty, the integration of technology into the curriculum, and the enrichment of academics through the art, music, and library skills programs.
The combination of the spiritual and the academic ensures that this school, following the tradition of quality education which has been the hallmark of the St. Theresa School for the past 98 years, will continue to prepare the students for any challenges that they will face in the new millennium.
This school considers it an honor and a privilege to teach the values of character, integrity, service, and respect to the children of the community. Realizing that it is a sacrifice and a choice of parents to send their children to our parish school, we are ever mindful of the responsibility entrusted by them to us.
