Skip Navigation LinksSt. Vincent School > chapter-1-INTRODUCTION TO THE HANDBOOK

​​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.
