Mission

St. Mark Catholic School is dedicated to educating our young people to become respectful, responsible Christians who go forth to serve.

Purpose

St. Mark helps students develop heart and mind for God by starting each day with prayer. Prayer services and weekly Masses are prepared by the students. Students organize and participate in service projects to assist those in need. Prayer Families build community, strengthen our relationship with God and others, and immerse students in faith based service projects. Attitude, service, and daily decisions are based on Catholic virtue and morality.

Quality

We strive to build strong foundational learning skills through a structured environment that will help students individually as they grow and mature. The elementary classrooms focus on student centered learning emphasizing reading, writing, and math. The middle school program focuses on providing structure and guidance while fostering leadership skills, academic autonomy, and encouraging students to serve and be knowledgeable of their world in which they live.

Dynamic Community

St. Mark believes learning goes beyond the classroom and can involve the entire family. We offer a wide variety of extracurricular activities to encourage students to explore interests. These activities contribute to a positive school climate and individual growth. Participation in extra/co-curricular activities teaches students the value of teamwork, self-discipline, hard work, physical and emotional development, and a sense of community and belonging.
