MISSION STATEMENT

To empower and inspire students through faith, knowledge, and service.

 

PHILOSOPHY

Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic School is a Catholic community. We acknowledge that each student is a unique creation of God with diverse abilities. As ministers of Catholic education, we work to discover and develop the gifts God has given each child so that she/he will be prepared to live in and contribute to the world of tomorrow. In cooperation with the parents, who are the primary educators, we strive to live this out by providing programs that stress Catholic values and promote self-worth, respect, responsibility, independence, and leadership.
