At St. James Catholic School, we understand that one of the most important decisions a parent/guardian will make is which school their child should attend in order to be successful.  Our mission statement, “Keeping God in Everything We Do”, guides our curriculum, activities, and interactions with each other.  Catholic education believes in the philosophy of development of the whole child:  mind, body, and spirit.  Our small campus allows your child to shine and not get lost in the crowd.  

We invite our parents to be partners in their child’s education.  To reinforce our “partnering with parents”, our strategic plan incorporates our entire school community:   Principal/Pastor, School Council/PTC Officers, Faculty/Staff, Parents/Guardians, and Students in the goals and success of the school.  A strong sense of community is created within our families.  

Each child is challenged academically while helping them to realize their personal talents and self-worth. Our curriculum integrates current technologies and advancements into all subjects but also remains true to traditional subject matter that supports Christian principles. Our academic preparation of students continues to merit successful recognition, as evidenced by the high school success of St. James students.  In addition, our students are provided opportunities to participate in service projects to teach them the importance of giving back to their community.   We feel this builds strong character in children. 

Here are some faith testimonies from the 2021-2022 graduating eighth grade class: 

“Through my parents, pastor, and teachers, I have learned the importance of being a Catholic and how to live as Jesus did.  My education at St. James has helped me realize that we are all made in the image and likeness of God.”  Matthew Marek

“If it was not for family and friends, I would not be who I am today.  Everyone and everything here helped me to learn and to grow in my faith.  My faith journey and time at St. James Catholic School was truly amazing.”  Angela Carbajal

“Service was an important part of my faith journey at St. James Catholic School.  From a very young age, I remember our field trips to the nursing homes where we were able to participate in mass with the residents.”  Will Dugi

Our dedicated staff invites you to visit our campus and “witness the difference” that a Catholic education can make for your child/children!
