Our School Mission

As a Catholic School, Holy Rosary is committed to:

• Teaching the truths and traditions of the Catholic Faith
• Guiding students to become self-directed, contributing members of our school, parish and world community
• Implementing a challenging curriculum that includes both the mastery of basic skills and the nurturing of intellectual curiosity as foundations for lifelong learning
• Educating the whole child spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, aesthetically, and physically in preparation for a positive, productive future

Philosophy

We are a Catholic parish school, committed to the message of Jesus Christ. Working in partnership with our parents, we strive to create an interactive community of faith formation through prayer, celebration and service. We believe that the integration of the Gospel values with academic excellence will best prepare our students to live as members of the Church and citizens of our country. We believe that consistent discipline based on respect is essential to the learning environment. Working together in a spirit of faith, hope and love, we believe that we can make a positive difference in the world by being responsible Christians.
