We strive to teach students how to integrate their faith into daily life and cultivate a caring attitude towards their community and all of God’s creation. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our teachers and staff for their unwavering dedication to this mission and ministry. May God bless each of you, and may the Holy Spirit continue to guide us in fulfilling our mission. 
The mission of the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Owensboro is to share in the Church’s mission: to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ as lived out in the Catholic Church, which creates a worshiping community of believers whose service is a witness of their Christian love. Catholic School educators have a commitment to students, to the ministry of teaching, and to the community. The Catholic school educator makes the well-being of students the foundation of all decisions and actions, performs teaching responsibilities with diligence and integrity, and believes the Catholic school community is both an agent of appropriate change and a preserver of basic tradition.
