    At SJS Faith is the cornerstone of our school. All of our action and interactions are guided by our faith. When you walk down the halls you will see and feel the SJS difference. Students are the liturgy leaders at the school liturgies. There are weekly visits by the parish priests. And our thorough religion curriculum ensures a solid foundation built on Catholic values.

    "I love teaching in a Catholic school because our priority is the education of the whole child, not just academically but spiritually also. When the focus is on following Christ, we have the opportunity to have a hand in creating the future leaders of our World and our Church."
