| Mission Statement
The purpose of the St. Agatha School mission statement
is to clearly articulate the foundational principles,
upon which our every objective, policy and
action as teachers of The People of God rests. As we “set out into
the deep” in this new millennium, the policies stated in this Parent/Student
Handbook are meant to assist us on “a voyage of discovery,” a
voyage that will lead each of us to share in the fulfillment of our shared
mission, as stated below:
We, the members of St. Agatha School,
supported by our parish, form a Christian community
with excellence in education as our goal. Our mission
is to proclaim the Gospel, build a faith community,
celebrate through worship and serve others. We welcome
and support a diverse cultural and economic population,
which is a hallmark of our Catholic identity. We strive
to generate a climate that is permeated by the Gospel
spirit, one that encourages teachers, students, and
families to become one community of learners, and prepares
us for our contribution to society in the future.
Philosophy
The mission of St. Agatha School is to “Teach as Jesus Did”(Pastoral
Message of the Bishops of U.S. Catholic Conference, 1972). We believe that
Christ is the model on whom Christian life is shaped. We strive to generate
a community climate that is permeated by the Gospel spirit of freedom and love.
Catholic
Christian principles are integrated in the teaching
of all academic subjects. Faith formation, social awareness,
and responsible decision-making are essential elements
in the education of each child. Enrichment programs
and service projects broaden the student’s perspectives
and prepare them for their contribution to society
in the future.
