HOLY FAMILY SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT

Holy Family School is a parish school rich in the tradition of Catholic education and committed to academic excellence. Our mission is to foster and to support the development of Catholic faith and identity while nurturing the whole child. In partnership with family, educators, and the whole parish community, we strive to promote the spiritual, intellectual, and social development of our students.

SCHOOL MOTTO “Believe and Achieve”

PHILOSOPHY

We believe in providing an inclusive academic environment where the dignity and uniqueness of each student is valued.

We believe that in preparing our students to be life-long learners, we honor families as the primary educators of their children, while teachers facilitate and complement the learning process.

We believe and are committed to sharing the Gospel message through prayer, liturgy, reflection, study, and community service.

We believe in and strive to create a community, which allows a child to learn and grow while developing a social sense of responsibility for self and others.

Holy Family School admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarships and loan programs, or athletic and other school programs.
