Welcome from the Principal

“…to know, love and serve God in everything we do.”

 

 Welcome to St. Patrick School. 

St. Patrick School has a long tradition of academic excellence. That tradition continues today as we educate our children for the world of tomorrow.  Our children receive an education that nurtures their spirit and heart.  

We are committed to the development of the whole child – their intellect and spirituality, as well as their social and physical development.  At St. Patrick School we strive to help our students experience Christian living through liturgy, sacramental life, prayer, guidance and, most importantly, example.  We foster a positive attitude toward lifelong education by providing our children with an atmosphere where they can grow and develop academically in a loving environment full of challenges, encouragement and enriching experiences.  Each child is unique possessing special individual gifts and talents. We respect and nurture individual differences while developing every student to their fullest potential. We want our children to be happy children, who love learning and when they leave us, they have a strong academic background enabling them to achieve any goal they set out to accomplish.

 St. Patrick School has a dedicated faculty and staff implementing strong instructional strategies and a comprehensive curriculum resulting in outstanding academic achievement.  Our Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STREAM) curriculum is enhanced by the variety of resources we have for our students. We offer special classes in Music, Art, Guidance Counseling, Spanish and Computer.  St. Patrick School is blessed to have a daily Acceleration and Enrichment Program offering one on one or small group instruction.  We have also have a Chess, Running, Yearbook, Robotics, and Math club. We will soon add a Book Club. We attend Mass twice a week and students in grades K3-3rd take part in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program, a Montessori Religion program.  Students participate in Physical Education daily and our 4th – 6th grade students participate in the parochial sports league competing in volleyball, basketball and track.   The combination of our outstanding faculty and staff and the continued support of parents and parish allow us to promote high standards.

I have been blessed to be part of St. Patrick School as a teacher, parent, aunt, Assistant Principal and now Principal. Many members of our faculty, staff and parents have been students at St. Patrick School, have had, or currently have students at St. Patrick School.  The tradition lives on.   

St. Patrick School is a welcoming and safe community that provides an exceptional education in a faith-filled environment.   Please come and join us, we would love to have you as part of our St. Patrick Family. 

Blessings,

Evelyn Burton, Principal
