Mission Statement

In partnership with parents and rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church, St. Cecilia School is dedicated to fostering the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical development of all students, empowering them to realize their full potential.

Philosophy

"The educational mission of the Church is an integrated ministry embracing three interlocking dimensions: message, community, and service. Catholic schools afford the fullest and best opportunity to realize this threefold purpose of education among children and young people." (NCCB, to Teach as Jesus Did, 101)

In light of this Church document, St. Cecilia School is committed to the education of children in partnership with parents who recognize that, for people of faith, the wisdom and culture transmitted by a school are enriched and put into perspective by the gospel message of Jesus.
