VISION STATEMENT

Faith Development and Educational Excellence now and for the future

MISSION STATEMENT

We, the professional staff of St. Agnes School and Parish, are dedicated to providing a quality Catholic Christian education for the students. We believe that our mission is accomplished through cooperation with parents and the parish community. We motivate students to work and learn at their individual ability levels. We strive to create a healthy environment in which a positive self-concept can be nurtured, academic knowledge is attained and a lifetime of faith development is fostered.

Message

Catholic Education is witnessed by the integration of life with the relevancy of Christ's teachings, the Gospel Message, and Christian values, as taught and practiced by families and reinforced in school.

Community

A secure, positive learning environment is created which fosters the growth of the students as productive individuals with an awareness of the cultural differences within the classroom environment, the parish community and the worldwide society.

Worship

The students' intimate relationship with God is enhanced through diverse experiences as individuals as well as members of the extended community.

Service

The staff, with Christ being the role model, strives to provide service opportunities to create an awareness of the responsibility to respond to the needs of others.
