St. Alphonsus School is here to:

*Educate children in academics and Catholic doctrine with the view of the whole person.

*Inspire the students to respect all of God's creations, accept responsibility, and develop a spiritual life.

*Develop a Christian community in the school.

*Motivate the students to care for and serve others within and outside the community through learning and prayer.

St. Alphonsus Catholic School is strongly rooted in faith, education and leadership.

St. Alphonsus is a Catholic school so our efforts are to bring each child to a greater awareness of the personal love that God has for them and all people. Each student should in turn make a personal response to that love through prayer, worship and daily concern for others.

The academic program is constructed to provide a general coordinated process of learning. Our purpose is intellectual development with the view of the whole person. The faculty's daily efforts are toward enabling each child to become an integrated Christian person with the ability to transfer learning to real life situations in a Christian manner.

At St. Alphonsus School and Preschool we believe that service is an important dimension of our faith and life. The Works of Mercy are incorporated into our school to teach and share the importance of serving all of God's children.

Leadership is also an important dimension of life. Our school endeavors to teach the child the importance of responsibility, accountability, and a concern and respect for others as well as the desire to make good choices.
