END OF THE YEAR MASS
               Mother Theresa said,
     “I’m a pencil in the hand of God.”
Our greatest thanks is to our faculty and to our staff for their commitment to let God use them and work through them.  They are His hands and feet, and we admire all that they do!
“Someone once told me not to bite off more than I could chew.” 
“I said I’d rather choke on greatness than nibble on mediocrity.”

When we think of all of our faculty, we think of how they go above and beyond the expectations of regular teachers and staff. 
They go beyond teaching kids to count to teaching them what counts. 
They go beyond teaching words, and ask our children to live by them. 
They go beyond teaching history and challenge students to create their own. 
We cannot begin to express our gratitude in their never-ending quest for greatness in what they do.
–Mrs. Roberts, Principal & Miss Hiponia, Assistant Principal
