The mission of Saint Helens Catholic School founded by the School Sisters of Notre Dame is to assist children in the betterment of their lives through a teaching and learning environment which respects the dignity of all.
The life and ministry of Jesus were about this betterment. Our school bridges the intersection of faith and culture allowing us the great opportunity to learn about one another more deeply regardless of our ethnic background. It is our responsibility to ignite a flame of human potential in all of our children.
Our children are challenged to grow intellectually spiritually morally physically socially aesthetically and psychologically to the fullest of their God given ability. Called to teach as Jesus did we share this responsibility with the parents and guardians who are the primary educators.
Students are called to love God respect one another and to acknowledge responsibility for their actions as they explore the dimensions of life that they experience through faith.
