Overview
All St. Raphael Catholic School parents, faculty, and staff are members of the St Raphael Home & School Association.
The purpose of this association is to strengthen the partnership between the home and school by sponsoring activities or functions that foster a greater sense of community.
The H&S Association supports the purpose and policies of the school, participates in school activities, and provides financial assistance to the school through various fund raising events.
Mission Statement: Christ is the cornerstone of St. Raphael Catholic School, where we empower all to strive for academic excellence, provide faith-filled service to others, reflect Catholic values, and become responsible leaders of the Church and community.
With Jesus, Mary and Joseph as our models, Holy Family Parish Catholic School prepares students for roles in the church, home, civic and global communities by educating them in their Catholic faith and in those skills necessary to foster academic excellence.
We believe that the education of students is a home, school, parish and community partnership; children grow optimally in an environment of safety and love; students' spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical gifts are to be developed in the school community; the various learning styles of students are best met by using a variety of teaching methods; and students are to be educated in the skills needed to be critical thinkers and life-long learners.
