Saint Patrick School, founded in 1872, is a Catholic School that is sponsored by the parish and serves students from grades pre-kindergarten to eight.  The clergy, faculty, staff, students, and families of Saint Patrick School subscribe to the ongoing building and living of a faith community-not only as a concept to be taught, but as a reality to be lived.  Through education, the school community strives to enable its students to assimilate the knowledge, attitudes, and values that prepare them to take their place as active members of society, while witnessing to the Gospel message. 

The primary concern and responsibility of our Saint Patrick School community is to meet the challenges of educating the whole child to achieve his or her unique potential spiritually, morally, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and culturally.  Acting as role models, the clergy, faculty, and staff communicate a personal love of Christ to the students and build in them an ever, deepening relationship and commitment to Him and a belief that they can achieve.  The school sets advanced academic standards for all students while employing varied methodologies to reach each child at his or her own level in order to provide positive, learning experiences.  The faculty and parents are expected to be supportive of one another in an on-going partnership that, through mutual respect and communication, works in concert for the continued growth and development of the child.

The expectation is that each student, nurtured within this faith community, attains high intellectual performance commensurate with his or her own ability and demonstrates moral integrity.  Saint Patrick School expects the parents to exercise their responsibility for the education of their children and supports them by inviting parents to share in the programs and collaborate in the decision-making process of the school.  Saint Patrick School recruits and employs teachers who have the necessary personal, religious, and professional qualifications, according to the norms established by the Diocese and consistent with the mission of the school.

Saint Patrick School is dedicated to the formation of Catholics who, by their faith commitment and their involvement in the school community, will create an educational environment permeated with the Gospel message of love, hope, and service to all
