Saint Patrick Catholic School
The Saint Patrick Catholic School mission speaks to six important
"pillars" in education. These principles form an educational framework
intentionally focused on the whole formation of each student.
Spiritual Formation through guidance in prayer, religious education,
community service, and building positive relationships with others.
Integral to this pillar is the belief that our school is "authentically
Catholic and warmly ecumenical."
Character Development through school programs focused on Christian
values that require honor and integrity. Students are involved in a
variety of activities designed to encourage self-awareness,
self-reflection, and self-evaluation of character. Through a Journey
Portfolio, students write reflectively about experiences that have led
to academic, physical, social, emotional and spiritual growth.
Academic Preparation through a content-rich curriculum, engaging
learning experiences, and high expectations for all students.
Instruction emphasizes specific learning goals and an understanding of
quality work. Students strive to meet expectations of quality by
assessing and evaluating their own work against a set of standards.
Physical Wellness through curriculum and activities that encourage
students to nourish and strengthen their body. Aspects of wellness
include exercise, athletics, nutrition, and positive attitudes for a
healthy mind and spirit.
Leadership Training through planned opportunities in academics,
athletics, the arts, and service. This leadership training helps
students develop the ability to solve one's own challenges as well as to
assist others in overcoming difficulties.
Service Learning through organized experiences within the school, as
well as the local and world community. By helping others in need,
students learn first-hand the connection between service and faith.
Service in the name of Christ is viewed as the overall purpose for
education and living a fulfilling life as a contributing citizen.
