A letter from the Principal

It is with great joy that the faculty, staff, and children welcome you to our St. Jerome Parish School website.  We are happy indeed to have this opportunity to share the "Good News" of our parish school.

We began the 2004-2005 school year in our brand new school building.  Since then, we enjoy the building each new day of this 2008-2009 school year.  It is still an awesome GIFT from our community.   We look forward to joining the school with our new church and parish center in the not-too-distant future.

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.

At St. Jerome Parish School, we welcome your child where faith, learning, respect, and service intertwine.  We embrace what you value most in this world - your child and his/her education.  True to our eighty three year tradition, we offer:

      - faith-based curriculum
      - high academic standards
      - a commitment to excellence in character formation
      - a welcoming school community
      - teachers and staff who care about your child's educational, moral
        and spiritual development.

Our school motto "Reach for Excellence" is a guiding star by which we wish to measure our goals and
successes.

We are very proud of our fine history and many traditions.  Our faculty, twenty five members strong, is especially dedicated and strives to promote student progress.

So too, we are very privileged to have both strong parish and parent support of our vibrant K3-8 program.  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 new 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
