The focus for efforts and attention in the Department of Catholic Schools at the elementary school level starts with the Vision Statement: leaders establish a collaborative, ongoing culture of growth to ensure vibrant Catholic schools for future generations. The three foundational areas of faith, excellence, and stewardship also have Vision Statements that provide direction for goal-setting, planning, and evaluation of the elementary schools. These foundational areas support growth and innovation in all curricular and extracurricular school programs.

Faith: Administration and faculty are engaged in ongoing faith formation​ and extend that formation to every student so that they value and live the Catholic faith.

Excellence: Administration and faculty exhibit professional competency and engage in ongoing professional growth so that every student masters all essential standards for every grade.

Stewardship: Administration communicates the mission, exhibits financial competency, and ensures the presence and future sustainability of the school

The immediate direction and supervision of the school program (administration, finance, academics, etc.) is delegated to the principal.  St. Vincent School is a Daughter of Charity sponsored school.  The pastor serves only as a spiritual director to the principal and the school.  The pastor's cooperation with the principal and faculty helps maintain the spiritual tone of the school as well as provides for the liturgical and sacramental life of the school​.
