St. John the Evangelist Catholic School, as a vital extension of St.
John the Evangelist Catholic Parish, is committed to developing the whole student; spiritually, academically, morally, socially and physically in order to prepare the students for a changing and pluralistic world and for their eternal salvation.
The patron of our parish school is St. John the Evangelist, the close friend of Jesus, our Savior.
Repeatedly in the scriptures, St. John reiterates, "Love one another...Love others as Jesus loves us.
Laying down his life for us." This is the principle by which we are guided and the atmosphere we aim to provide, not only during a formal religion class, but every moment of the day.
In the awareness of others, the sensitivity to the needs of our parish and community, we are called to serve others by prayer, sacrifice, and the various calls to action.
