About the School
- St. Michael's school serves children from pre-school through eighth grade.
- We are a community of parents, teachers, priests, and staff who care about and foster the spiritual, academic, and emotional growth of our children.
- Our approach to discipline is based on respect respect for self, respect for learning, respect for each other.
- Since 1895 our mission here at St. Michael's has remained the same help build the kingdom of God.
- We offer solid instruction based on the traditions of our Catholic faith and we help our students through their spiritual journey by preparing them for the sacrament.
- We do this by building a spiritual community that reflects Christ's love through Daily Prayer and Weekly Mass: Our students, faculty, and staff pray together daily.
- Mass is celebrated weekly with students and there are a number of special all school masses and prayer services planned throughout the year.
- Parents are invited to attend any of these masses.
- Our students have numerous opportunities to serve others by participating in programs that benefit the community: Special Olympics, Juvenile Diabetes, Math Marathon for Saint Judes, Mary Queen and Mother Nursing Home, Foreign Missions, Saint Vincent DePaul, Sts Peter & Paul Soup Kitchen, and many others.
