St. Vincent Parish School is a Catholic educational institution that pursues the development of
the total person within the environment of a faith community. Those who form this community
recognize the need to cooperate with one another by accepting their appropriate responsibilities.
Thus, the teachers support parents who are the primary educators of their children. Likewise, the
parents support the teachers who are the facilitators of their children’s education.
Together they form a learning, loving, and worshiping community that seeks to nourish
the students at every level: body, mind, and spirit.
In the pursuit of excellence at each of these levels the school provides the
environment and motivation to acquire skills that allow the students to reach their
greatest potential and lead them to be active members of
Church and society.
“Consider yourself happy that God has given you charge of
these little children, amongst whom there may be many who
will render great glory to God.”
St. Vincent de Paul
