Overview
St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School provides a superb educational facility with a 2024 rennovation project improving security and accessibility.
The school has a strong history of providing quality Catholic Education for over 90 years.
STREAM (Science,Tehnology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, Math) has arrived at St. Paul's getting our students ready for not only their careers, but life-long learning.
The original school housed approximately 260 students. Two additions to the building expanded its capacity in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
Today, St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade School has over 450 students.
St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School works with each student as an individual and strives to advance the student as afar as they are willing and able to go.
The needs of each student drive an instructional plan that allows for individual learning styles and places responsibility for learning on students.
St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School recognizes the family as the primary educator of children in academics and faith.
Therefore, the School enjoys family involvement in the ongoing success of school achievement and activities, emulating relationships that honor Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the original Holy Family.
All Saints Catholic School has initiated a special approach to recognizing students striving to achieve their personal best through the qualities of: Faith, Respect, Honesty, Acceptance, Compassion, Self-Control, Fairness, Courtesy and Reliability.
Students are nominated by school staff, recognized at an all school gathering and presented with a certificate.
Their picture is posted on the quality trait pyramid in our school, and they receive a reward for their achievement.
Best of all, they took another step closer toward achieving their personal best! With children striving for their personal best, we are confident these attitudes will reflect positively on the playground, in the classrooms, and throughout our community.
The All Saints Catholic School community shares a common goal of preparing children for life-long learning and Christian service.
We are committed to nurturing each child's spiritual, intellectual, social, moral, emotional and physical development.
All are encouraged to utilize their God-given gifts in an atmosphere that challenges them to strive for their unique potential.
