St. John the Baptist School educates students from 3 year old Preschool through Eighth Grade.
Our goal is to prepare young people to impact the world for Christ, using Jesus as our model; to continue development of excellence in curriculum and instruction; to provide optimum technology integration; and to provide a safe and accessible environment for staff and students.
The mission of St. Michael School is to partner with parents in educating the whole child.
Striving for academic excellence, children will grow spiritually, morally, and intellectually, as they develop physically, socially and emotionally.
The St. Michael community is committed to "teach as Jesus did" by helping students become responsible Catholic Christians dedicated to spreading the mission of Jesus Christ and serving others.
As a Catholic school we are a community of faith in which the gospel message, our Catholic heritage, worship and service are integrated in the school experience.
We aspire to academic excellence by encouraging the unique giftedness of each student, and by addressing the social, emotional, physical and spiritual dimensions of our children.
