Overview
A history rich in PRIDE started on September 15, 1949 when the doors to the first coed Catholic high school in the Diocese of Sioux City.
Bishop Heelan has given over 12,000 students an education based on faith, knowledge, values and service.
Siouxland Christian School is first and foremost committed to instruction and education that conforms to the Word of God.
Because we are of diverse church and denominational backgrounds, it is important that as a body of believers known as Siouxland Christian School, we are diligent about unity, based on the truths of Scripture, in the bond of love.
To that end, it is important to set forth, in writing these Tenets of Faith. Meaningful education has reverence for God as its starting point and glorifying God as its goal.
Parents are given the responsibility of carefully instructing their children in the principles and doctrines of the Bible, and thus have a religious and moral responsibility to provide Christian education.
SCS is an extension of the Christ-centered home and church.
