Overview
St. Edward School was originally founded as an all-black Catholic School on November 18, 1918 by St. Katharine Drexel.
Our mission is "living the eucharistic reality that "all are one in Christ".
We believe that our primary reason for existing is to instill in each child the Christian principles, attitudes and values which will result in a deep love of God, country, and all people.
We believe that we should accept each child as he or she is, yet seek to provide an education that will develop his or her fullest potential, an education dedicated to spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, cultural and social development.
Highland Baptist Christian School (HBCS) is a PK-12 non-public school built on academic excellence with a Biblical worldview.
If sheer numbers were an indication of the strength of HBCS, then there is no doubt that students whose educational foundation is rooted at Highland can readily say "the sky's the limit" in terms of spiritual and academic potential.
HBCS has experienced tremendous increase in enrollment since its inception.
Our community has overwhelmingly supported the traditional values of time-honored Christian education offered by our dedicated administration, faculty and staff.
The academic curriculum is strong. Disciplined behavior is expected and rewarded. Plan a visit to Highland today!.
