Saint Anne Catholic School was founded in 1957 and staffed by the School Sisters of Notre Dame and lay teachers.
Educating students has always been a priority of The Church of Saint Anne.
The original school was opened with 8 classrooms and a cafeteria.
The first year 307 students were taught in our parish.
This included 235 students at Saint Annne School and 72 students at Saint Joseph School, formerly Saint Mary's MIssion, which was a branch of Saint Mary's Grade School.
Saint Joseph was later closed and those students attended Saint Anne School.
Saint Anne School believes in a faith filled Catholic atmosphere which acknowledges Christ as a foundation of the school and of the personal lives of both teachers and students.
Through this enabling atmosphere and the concerted effort of the parish, parents and faculty, the students will develop spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially, and psychologically.
Thus, the Catholic school fulfill the three-fold directive of the document, To teach as Jesus DID, to build community, promote service and proclaim the message.
