What makes STS special?

Our parish

  • The Pastor and Parochial Vicar provide spiritual guidance, counsel and leadership in the area of religious instruction and work with administration to promote a Christian atmosphere in the school.
  • Provides financial support for the school

Administration who

  • Are accessible and available to students and family
  • Are committed to supporting the faculty
  • Are receptive to new ideas

Committed professional faculty who

  • “go the extra distance”
  • Love to teach (and it shows!)
  • Have a wealth of experience to share

Parents

  • who are involved and committed to their child’s education
  • who support the school both individually and through the Parent/Teacher Organization and
  • who value diversity, moral values and solid academics

Students who

  • Value hard work
  • Believe it is “cool” and “OK” to be smart
  • support one another and recognize that we all have different skills and talents
  • reach out to others through community service
  • accept responsibility

We believe that it is the combination of our parish, administration, faculty, parents and students form a student-focused community that is dedicated to academic excellence in the Catholic Faith.  We believe:

  • Catholic education is an integral part of the Church’s mission to share the gospel message of Jesus and to respect and service others in our local and global communities
  • Our faith community, teachers, staff, students and parents share the responsibility as a family for the support the school’s mission.
  • All students grow spiritually, intellectually, socially and physically in a safe, nurturing environment rich in Catholic faith and traditions.
  • All students can learn and succeed in an environment that provides exceptional learning experiences, while considering different learning styles and developmental stages
  • Collaborative attitudes, responsible decision-making, and mutual respect between students, staff and parents foster lifelong learning and personal growth.
  • Dedicated commitment by students, staff and parents to continuous improvement is the catalyst for school excellence.
