A Message from our Pastor
We are so blessed at St. John the Baptist Catholic School to continue the work of Catholic education for over 100 years here in our local community. As a Catholic Parish School, we accompany parents by forming our students in and outside of the classroom spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally and physically as beloved sons and daughters of God and virtuous and intentional disciples of
Jesus Christ.
We will meet these learning expectations through our bold and authentic Catholic Faculty and curriculum that is sourced and centered on the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and the Sacraments to build up the Domestic Church of our families.

An Integrated Faith
-
St. John the Baptist Catholic School offers families a Faith-based education for their children. Faith and knowledge integration helps us identify how God's brilliant design is found across all disciplines. This assists us in identifying how God works in our lives and provides an understanding of our relation to Him and His creation and the necessity for our salvation.
At St. John the Baptist Catholic School, students will experience Holy Mass each week, daily prayer, and regular access to the Sacraments. Sacramental preparation for First Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Confirmation is provided in our School for students that are eligible to receive these Sacraments.
