Our Mission Statement
St. Theresa Catholic School fosters the development of the whole child: spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically,
and emotionally. The message of the Gospel is integrated throughout the curriculum and environment. We encourage
students to value the uniqueness and sacred dignity of each individual and to understand the moral and social
obligations that bind all peoples into a world community. We create an atmosphere that combines structure and
creativity while instilling an enthusiasm for lifelong learning. We influence students and families to be dynamic agents
of change in the areas of social and racial justice, human dignity, freedom and peace. Our ultimate goal is to prepare
students for the service of God and humankind.
