We as Christian educators at Our Lady Queen of Angels School, are committed to Catholic Education.
We recognize that each student is a unique creation of God with individual abilities to be developed and shared.
Our Lady Queen of Angels School is a community that ministers to students of diverse abilities, including some with special academic and physical needs.
In cooperation with the parents, who are the primary educators, we work to discover and develop the potential God has given to each child so that he/she will be prepared to live in and contribute to the world of tomorrow.
We strive to live this out by providing programs that stress Catholic values and promote self-worth, respect, responsibility, independence, and leadership.
We believe Catholic education has, as its goal, development in several areas: religious, academic, physical and cultural, personal and social, and service to the community.

My two kids attended OLQA for two years and we all loved it. The school excelled at an academic level, but also at a human level. Mrs.Tipton is an outstanding principal. I wished they had a more diverse sports curriculum, but otherwise, it was excellent.
