Statement of Mission & Philosophy

Our Mission

Holy Angels Catholic School is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing learning environment in which students can realize their full spiritual, intellectual, moral, social, and physical potential and become positive Christian citizens within the community.

Our Philosophy

The Philosophy of Catholic School Education, based upon the National Catechetical Directory and the pastoral To Teach As Jesus Did, stresses the responsibility of the Catholic School in the total teaching mission of the church. Christian formation is a lifetime responsibility which requires various experiences of formal and informational religious education for every member of the Catholic Community.

Although education is primarily the responsibility of the family, we as faculty share this responsibility; we build upon the development and training the children receive at home. Holy Angels Catholic School endeavors to educate its students in their total growth: spiritual, moral, emotional, intellectual, social, and physical. We believe religion is an integrating force, and therefore, religion is incorporated into all aspects of the child’s development. Holy Angels Catholic School provides a Catholic-centered Christian education that is sensitive to religion, ethnic heritage, students, family structure, and school processes. All students will participate fully in the religious activities and celebrations of Holy Angels Catholic School.
