Welcome to St. Jerome School
St. Jerome Parish School offers your child a Catholic value-based education, providing a loving and caring environment in which to learn. Our educational philosophy is based upon care for the whole child - mind, body and spirit. Jesus is certainly our formational role model for how we live and interact with others.
We believe in fostering a strong parent/faculty partnership, giving our children a solid foundation so that they can grow into responsible young adults who can make a positive difference in our world today.
We invite you to join our parish school family. Please contact our office to arrange a date and time to become acquainted with our school and the rich Catholic values-based program we offer. As Principal, I would enjoy meeting and sharing with you. Call me any time to arrange a visit. Thank you for your interest in our school and parish family.
God bless you and your family,
Suzanne Zinda
