Saint John The Baptist Catholic School

St. John the Baptist School is a Roman Catholic Elementary School, whose purpose is to help children to:

• Know, love and serve God in this world and to be happy with Him in heaven.
• Become the persons God created them to be, by growing “in wisdom and age and grace before God and man.” (Lk. 2:52)
• Learn the eternal truths of the Catholic Faith in communion with our Pope and Bishops.
• Develop the spiritual, moral and intellectual foundations needed to stand up to cultural pressures and transform society.
• Form their characters into future leaders who will be “the light of the world” and “the salt of the earth.” (Mt. 5:13-14)

We accomplish these goals by:

• Teaching our children to pray.
• Tending to the whole person – heart, soul, mind and strength. (see Mk. 12:30)
• Celebrating the Sacraments regularly, especially the Eucharist as the summit of Catholic life.
• Assisting in the development of each child’s spiritual, academic, physical, emotional and intellectual progress.
• Providing a foundation for students to become virtuous, productive and responsible American citizens in a global community.
• Having a faculty and staff who truly love children and are committed to Catholic education.
• Utilizing the best teaching tools of the 21st century.
• Fostering an environment of “one heart and one mind” among all of the school’s stakeholders.
• Striving to meet the region’s enrollment potential.
• Achieving and maintaining long-term financial sustainability.

“Let the children come to me…for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Lk.18:16)
