Parents are the primary educators of their children. The Church has the responsibility to proclaim the Word of God. In partnership with parents and the Church, Catholic schools exist to enable persons to hear the message of hope contained in the Gospel, to base their love and service of God upon this message, to achieve a vital personal relationship with Christ and to share the Gospel's realistic vie of the human condition. They provide a unique setting within which young people's faith can become living, conscious and active. The Catholic school accepts the challenge and the obligations to be unique, contemporary and oriented to Christian service.

A Catholic school is unique because of its total commitment to the three-fold purpose of Christian education: message, community and service. It creates an atmosphere where Catholic faith can be integrated with life and learning.

A Catholic school is contemporary because it enables students to address with Christian insight the multiple problems people face in today's society. It equips the student to understand his role in his individual and in his global family and to deepen his awareness of human needs.

A Catholic school is oriented to Christian service because it helps students acquire skills, attitudes and values necessary for effective service to others. It challenges a student to accept responsibility for himself and for others and to promote the achievement of justice so that he may minister to others in the spirit of the Gospel. All those involved in a Catholic school - parents, pastors, teachers, administrators, and students - must strive to make a community of faith which indeed is living, conscious and active. Central to this faith community is the sharing of the sacraments, liturgy, prayer, and spiritual activities.

As a highly visible part of the Catholic community, the school must evidence dedication to proclaiming the Word of God and witness that message by action and service. In this way, it will fulfill its mission of forming its members in Christ.
 

Our Mission

Guardian Angels Catholic School is a vital mission of its four feeder parishes: St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Luke and All Saints.   The school is dedicated to provide a challenging, faith-filled, educational environment fostering and reflecting Gospel values which establishes the foundation for an active life in service to the Church, community and world.
 

Philosophy 

Since Christian education is intended to make our faith become living, conscious, and active through the light of instruction, Guardian Angels Catholic School becomes a unique setting within which this ideal can be realized in the lives of our children.

As a believing community we strengthen one another's faith in Christ Jesus by our worship in common and by our efforts to live the gospel message each day.

As a community we strive to educate the faith filled students who continually extol, support and practice Christian values passed to us through our Catholic faith. In an environment characterized by love, interest and concern, students are encouraged to develop their God-given talents and potential. Through a curriculum designed to promote excellence, students are provided with the tools necessary to function, grow and develop into responsible and service-centered adults.
