Catholic education is an expression of the mission entrusted by Jesus to His church and is concerned with the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, aesthetic, and physical growth of each child.
The goal of Annunciation Catholic School is to encourage and support each child to reach his potential in a multifaceted society.
Parents are the primary educators of their child and it is our task to assist them in this work.
Annunciation Catholic School recognizes the differences in students` abilities and potential and strives to develop: academic excellence, basic Christian attitudes and values, a strengthening of character, integrity through self-discipline, a desire for personal achievement and life-long learning, and a reverence for one`s-self, others and all creation.

School Reviews

Our kids have done so well in Annunciation. This was their first year being in a school setting, and while the first couple of days were bumpy, their teachers kept working to make them feel comfortable. We love Annunciation because of the joint effort that goes into teaching our kids; even the principal, helped to get them acclimated! Since then, I am amazed at how much kids have learned. The teachers are so patient and work with each child on an individual level. They truly love our kids! What more can you ask for?!

A truly great school. Kids are challenged academically; but more importantly they are taught to treat each other with kindness and respect. No cliquish behavior. The school is Catholic; but it's really just Christian. Protestant families are happy there.
Endorse Annunciation Catholic School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
