Principal's Corner               Dr. Tricia Barber

• We walk the journey together, adult and child, toward realizing the fullness of God's plan and our role in building His Kingdom.

• Each student is encouraged to view himself as an individual created in God's image, personally redeemed by Christ, possessing unique abilities.

• We believe that many opportunities should be provided to fulfill our apostolic role and to assume our Christian responsibility to promote social justice through projects in the school, parish and community.

• At St. Francis of Assisi School, we believe that the parent is the primary educator of the child. We believe that our curriculum should enrich the spirit as well as the mind.

• We believe that our curriculum should accommodate a diversity of learners and learning styles and that there should be an integration of faith and curriculum.

• Following the philosophy of St. Francis, we believe that all creation comes from the hand of a loving Father and we, as brothers and sisters to all living things are invited to discover our role in creation, in society, and the church

     "How beautiful is a seed-O, God- how beautiful." St. Francis of Assisi saw in a seed what Jesus saw in people- the becoming, what was yet to be. Our mission to our students stems from our respect for God's desire that each person reach his/her full potential as His child- each one a seed- a promise needing to be fulfilled.

St. Francis of Assisi School serves the parish community by providing a traditional Catholic education for children in preschool through eighth grade, an education that emphasizes moral standards of conduct and integrity.  The school gives first priority to its students' spiritual development. Through daily religious instruction, weekly opportunities for worship, and the integration of religious values throughout the curriculum, children are encouraged to develop a vital personal relationship with Christ and to appreciate the dignity and worth of all God's children.  Children are also given many opportunities to fulfill their apostolic role in building the Kingdom of God and to assume their Christian responsibility to promote social justice through projects in the school,  the parish, and the community. Teachers and their students strive to model the behavior of Christ, especially in their interactions with one another within the school family.
