St. Rose of Lima School DeSoto, MO

We are fostered by faith, called to serve, to be empowered for life. St. Rose has been providing Catholic education for over 125 years. We invite you to visit our school and join our faith-filled team of students and faculty who are dedicated to serving our diverse world and committed to making a positive impact. Our goal as a faculty, staff, principal, and parish community is to ensure a safe and secure environment for our students and lay the foundation for our students to be evangelists for Jesus Christ's message. Though our partnership with parents, we know that parents are our first educators of children and strive to support the whole student and their family. Our parents are deeply involved in the life our our school and education of our students with Christ in the center in all we do. Welcome to our school and parish community!
