Mission Statement
Holy Rosary Elementary School, a
ministry of Holy Rosary Church, rooted in the Dominican
tradition of study, prayer and truth, provides a quality
Catholic education and a foundation for higher learning and
service within a diverse community.
We are a faith community,
which shares its love of God, and instills high academic
values. We guide students to an understanding of who they
are and an appreciation for what they can contribute to the
world.
Philosophy
The Holy Rosary
Catholic School community is a diverse family consisting of
students, parents, staff, clergy, and administration,
representing various cultures and parishes. We identify
ourselves as a part of the larger community of Catholics at
Holy Rosary Church and surrounding parishes, and see our
primary mission as the imparting of values and self-worth
consistent with the Gospel message and the teachings of the
Catholic Church.
We acknowledge the
parents of our school community as the primary educators of
their children. We view ourselves as their active partners
in the nurturing and encouragement of growth in each child's
spiritual, academic, psychological, physical, cultural, and
social development. We believe that each child is a unique
individual, gifted by God with the potential for happiness
and health.
