We are dedicated to providing a Christ centered community in a safe and nurturing environment. You will see the truth of this statement when you visit our campus.

We provide a holistic education with high academic standards which was clearly evident to the eight educators who recently visited our school for three days. They unanimously affirmed what was written in our two year self study for reaccreditation. In July we received official word from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), as well as the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA), that we had received a full six year term of accreditation. This is the longest possible accreditation term offered so we are very proud of our students, teachers, staff, parents, parishioners and priests, who were all involved in the process.

A copy of our Self Study, as well as the official WCEA/WASC Report, is available in the school office.

We encourage our parents to be involved with the education and well being of their children. This was very evident, especially during the summer months, when some of our parents used funds raised by the students, parents, and parishioners to enhance our computer and science labs. In addition, some very dedicated parents were responsible for many major improvements made to enhance the school plant. These improvements included, but were not limited, to the following: complete renovation of the enclosed playground used by our Pre-School, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students; the installation of a new, permanent playground which includes a handball court, tether balls, and climbing equipment which will be used at recess, as well as during physical education classes; and the beautification of the school grounds with Mary's statue as the focal point.

Our goal has been and continues to be the education of children in a value oriented environment for their personal growth and enrichment of the community.

May God bless each of you,

Roisin McAree, Principal
