St. Mary's Parish is committed to providing a school for those who want a Catholic education with a strong academic program for their children.
When class size permits, Catholics from neighboring parishes and non-Catholic students are welcome to apply for admission.
No child or family will be discriminated against in admission on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, or handicap.
Good Shepherd Christian Academy partners with family and church to provide a Christ centered, biblically based education emphasizing academic excellence and character development.
Our goal is to provide an educational environment that is spiritually based, emotionally encouraging, physically safe, and intellectually challenging.
We believe a child has the best opportunity for success when home, church and school are working together in harmony towards these ends.
