MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of St. Joan of Arc School is to grow as a Christ-Centered Catholic Community dedicated to building a foundation of Christian values and academic excellence.
We model Jesus’ teaching in order to enable our students to develop their fullest spiritual and academic potential. God calls us to prepare our students to be future faith-filled stewards of the Catholic Church and of Gods creation.
PHILOSOPHY
St. Joan of Arc Parish is deeply committed to Catholic Education and the ministry of leading our students through the process of becoming strong and responsible individuals, capable of willingly making Christ Centered Choices. Therefore, St. Joan of Arc Catholic School is devoted to carefully cultivating in our students a desire to achieve to the best of their ability spiritually, as well as academically.
We as Catholic school teachers are in every sense, catechists. We give witness to Christ, the Master Teacher, by our lives as well as our teachings. As educators we commit to growing in our relationship with God and we incorporate the Gospel in our teaching and our lives.
Recognizing and respecting the role of parents as primary educators of their children, we assist parents with the Catholic formation of the family. Together, teachers and parents are partners who espouse Gospel values that create an atmosphere rooted in an ongoing relationship with God.
St. Joan of Arc Catholic School Staff is committed to the following:
To provide experiences in our school that present the Gospel and the church doctrine, celebrate through worship, and serve others.
To develop in students an awareness of their responsibility to respond to the needs of parish, local, and global community as a reflection of their faith commitment.
