Overview
Welcome to St. James Catholic School. Our school has been an integral part of our community since 1910, the year 14 students graduated.
Most parents would agree they want a good education for their children but ask what ingredients make up a 'good' education. Although there is plenty of room for debate, St. James Catholic School believes that an essential ingredient to that success is teaching our children with Christian values give them a foundation for a strong, healthy life. St. James Catholic School exists because hundreds of families in this area believe in the value of a total Christian education for their children.
They believe God does have a place in the classroom.
They believe no education is really complete without spiritual instruction and moral guidelines as part of a five-day-a-week curriculum.
Immanuel Lutheran School is a Christian day school offering a fully accredited educational program for students from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade.
Immanuel strives to help people live lives of faith, hope and love in worship to God while reaching out to others, serving them in the name of Christ.
The faculty and staff at Immanuel are dedicated to helping children reach their physical, spiritual, social, academic, and emotional potential in a Christ-centered environment.
