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.

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. We appreciate the many hundreds of hours of donated by the many other volunteers who contribute to the learning environment: • Booster Club - planning and preparing for the future • St. Rose Board Members and their spouses - various fund-raising projects and long hours of faithful service • Vicky Schumacher & Jeanine Johnson - office help • Dorothy Case, Marietta McFarland & Donna Mae Guenther - library help • Eighth grade parents Catholic Schools’ Week projects • Nancy Foxhoven - Fundraising Organizer • Nancy Wortmann - Beautiful Church Music • All of the anonymous donors It’s hard to list all of our helpers but we try and we certainly appreciate all who support us in prayer, time and treasure. St. Rose has a growing endowment fund which has contributed in the past to increased computer updating and a reading series. We now use the endowment fund interest to help meet the school’s increased operational costs, particularly the cost of salary increases. A contribution to the St. Rose Parish Education Endowment Fund is an investment in the future of our Catholic school.
