Principal's Welcome

Dear Prospective St. Ann Family,

In today’s world of large schools and standardized programs, St. Ann Catholic School stands apart as a community where faith, academics, and genuine connection come together to form something truly special. Here, learning is not just about test scores; it’s about nurturing the heart, mind, and spirit of every child from Pre-K through 8th grade. At St. Ann, we take pride in being more than a school; we are a faith-filled family. When your child walks through our doors, they are known by name. Teachers, classmates, and even our cafeteria staff take the time to know each student as an individual. This sense of belonging allows teachers to identify each child’s unique strengths and challenges, ensuring that every student receives the support and encouragement they need to thrive. Because of our small, close-knit environment, students have countless opportunities to participate, lead, and discover their talents. Whether performing in our Broadway Bruins Theater, serving at Mass, or mentoring younger students in our “Families of Faith”, every child has a chance to shine and grow in confidence.

One of the most inspirational parts of St. Ann’s story is that many of our teachers once sat in the same classrooms as their students do today. Our alumni return to teach not only because of strong academics, but because of the deep sense of belonging and purpose they found here. Their dedication speaks volumes about the lasting impact of a St. Ann education. They come back because they want to give others the same foundation that shaped their own lives. Our mission is rooted in the integration of faith and learning. Faith is not confined to one class period; it’s woven into every subject and every day. Students begin mornings in prayer, participate in service projects, and reflect on how their learning connects to God’s world and their purpose within it. We also place great emphasis on character and values. Compassion, respect, integrity, and responsibility are not simply taught; they are lived. In a world that can feel divided and fast-paced, St. Ann offers a steady, values-centered environment where kindness and service to others are the norm. Parents often tell us that this partnership between home and school reinforces what they’re teaching at home, helping children grow into well-rounded, grounded young people.

Our Pre-K through 8th grade structure offers families an uncommon gift: stability and continuity during a child’s most formative years. Teachers understand the full developmental journey, and students benefit from consistent expectations, faith formation, and educational philosophy. The result is a strong, seamless foundation that prepares students for the academic and social challenges of high school and beyond. By the time our students graduate in 8th grade, they are well-prepared for high school success, academically, spiritually, and personally. They have learned how to think critically, manage responsibilities, communicate effectively, and navigate challenges with confidence. Most importantly, they leave knowing who they are, what they believe, and how they can make a difference in the world.

At St. Ann Catholic School, we are committed to forming not only successful students but faithful, compassionate leaders ready to serve others. We invite you to visit our campus, meet our teachers, and experience the warmth of our community firsthand. You will quickly see why so many families call St. Ann their home and why our alumni so often return to carry forward the mission they once benefited from themselves. We would love to welcome you into the St. Ann family, where every child is known, loved, and inspired to reach their God-given potential.
