At St. Agnes Catholic School, we pride ourselves on the strong partnership that exists among the home, the school and the parish.

By word and deed, the Catholic community of St. Agnes strives to foster the Gospel values of compassion and love, of dignity and uniqueness of each individual, and of family as the foundation of our community. By faith and prayer, we seek to create a rich Christian environment for the full development of each individual. With the example of St. Agnes as our patron saint of our school, we ask God to give us courage to do the right thing.

We recognize and celebrate each student's individual strengths, talents, and learning needs while encouraging all students to become the best they can be by growing in faith, character, confidence, and respect for themselves and others.
