Message to Prospective Patrons
Dear Interested Patron:
Thank you for your interest in our
school. We have included information in regards to tuition
rates, school philosophy, and
class
curriculums, in clickable links within this message. We hope this
information will help you in making your decision to send your child(ren) to
our school.
Catholic Education is a unique alternative to the public and
private systems of education. From the very beginning, students in our
Preschool Program are taught that they are wanted at Holy Spirit Catholic
School, accepted because they are a creation of God and part of the human
family, and loved because they are gifted by God who makes each creature a
unique being. The education process is not accomplished in isolation. It is
initiated, promoted, and performed in concert with students, parents, teachers,
administrators, and concerned people.
Students live in this world with
other people and need to follow rules and regulations that govern behavior.
Codes of performance are established and explained to the students. As a part
of the Catholic School community, students learn that order is necessary for
them to accomplish the tasks of education. Students learn that they must also
discipline themselves so they can achieve their own goals. One emphasis is on
teaching each student how to become a contributing member of the community by
wisely using their own special talents and gifts for the mutual benefit of
society.
Our primary concern is the needs of our students and the means
whereby to meet those needs. To achieve success in these endeavors, it is
essential that we have a united effort among students, parents, teachers, and
administrators. Pledging our mutual support and asking God to bless and guide
us, we will continue to strive for quality education at Holy Spirit Catholic
School.
Please feel free to contact our school with any further
questions you may have. Our doors are always open, so please feel free to visit
our school.
Sincerely in Christ,
Holy Spirit Catholic

Faculty, Principal and School Board
Tradition of Excellence
HOLY SPIRIT CATHOLIC SCHOOL formerly St. Anthony Catholic
Community School, has been helping to develop the minds and hearts of its
students since 1951. This rich legacy of caring for our children through a
sound Catholic education has resulted in hundreds of well rounded, productive
men and women.
Although our school has been underutilized in the past,
we are proud to say that today our classrooms are filling up, with waiting
lists for several grades. This is a real testimony to the dedication of our
teachers, administrators and parents who help in so many ways. We offer a
Three Year Old Pre-school three days a week, two
half day sessions of Four Year Old Pre-School, a
Full Day Kindergarten, and
grades one through six. We also offer on-site
Child Care for younger siblings of students, plus
Before and After School Programs.
The goal of our school is to help each student develop to their
fullest potential. Academic excellence, coupled with spiritual growth, is our
priority. We believe in emphasizing the “6 R’S”: Reading,
Writing, Arithmetic, Responsibility, Respect and Religion. Our curriculum also
includes Social Studies, Language Arts, Foreign Language, Science, Music, Art,
P.E. and Health.
The Challenge of the Future
Parochial schools like Holy Spirit are one of the few alternatives
to public education available to our community's children. We believe the
reinforcement of Christian values within the school environment is essential in
strengthening the ethical codes parents instill in their children at home. Our
mission, as we head into the 21st Century, is to ensure the religious and
scholastic development of tomorrow's Christian leaders.
Goals of Holy Spirit Catholic School
1. Foster personal development according to Gospel
principles.
2. Develop basic skills and good study habits.
3. Tap the
full potential of each student.
4. Enable each child to feel the joy of
accomplishment.
5. Develop respect for God, themselves and
others.
