I was a parent at St. Anthony's Catholic School for 20 years and all three of my children attended Preschool through 8th grade. The school is strong in developing a lasting bond with Christ within their students. Staff and faculty genuinely love and care about each child. They work hard to guide the children in developing exceptional moral values and provide a superior academic education while instilling the importance of service to others. Parents are friendly and always helpful! The students embrace and welcome new students who enter their classes in later grade levels. St. Anthony's Catholic School has been a true blessing to our family!
