THE MISSION OF ST. ROSE OF LIMA CATHOLIC SCHOOL IS TO PROVIDE A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHICH IS CONDUCIVE TO EACH INDIVIDUAL CHILD'S SPIRITUAL, INTELLECTUAL, PHYSICAL, AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS. Our exit outcomes are as follows: All graduates of St. Rose of Lima Parish School demonstrate: • Religious knowledge, virtues and practices; • Knowledge of core disciplines; • Higher order thinking skills; • Effective communication and social interaction skills; • Commitments to life-long learning skills, good health and effective citizenship. Students looking over a few of the thousands of newly purchased books for the St.?Rose library. St. Rose provides updated religious and secular education for all students with classes in Religion, language arts, math, science/health, social studies, art, music, and computer technology. The lower grade students have a strong foundation in phonics and word attack skills and all grades make use of materials to teach spelling and writing skills. In addition to the regular Religion program, students are involved with many activities in the community. We believe that it is important for the students to not only know their faith but also to live it. We are what we believe! We appreciate the time and efforts of our regular faculty who continue to sacrifice the larger salaries they could earn in the public school for the sake of the Catholic values they hold and share with their students. They are the role models for our students in the classroom and out of the classroom. Their classroom leadership and temperament helps mold the minds and decisions of our students for the future.
