Dear St. Serra Catholic Parents,
I have mentioned many times that the two main pillars of St. Serra School are the evolution of our Catholic Identity and our quest for Academic Excellence. Our school profile includes important descriptive information about our school, our academic program, and our community. This information provides a more complete picture of all of the factors that contribute to the positive educational experience St. Serra provides for our students. Please take a moment to review the information. We should be proud of all that we are accomplishing at our school.
Always Striving,
Tim Tolzda
Sr. Principal
