We believe:

• That the parents are the primary educators of their children
• That the faith life of each student should be nurtured emphasizing Catholic values
• That as a part of the Catholic Community of St. Thecla Parish we share a mission of service and stewardship
• In an all encompassing curriculum that meets the mental, spiritual, social, physical, and emotional needs of all students
• In encouraging creative thinking and problem solving skills
• That as a Catholic school we are preparing students to assume the duties of Christian citizenship
• In celebrating our students’ God given talents through fine arts and athletic programs
• In our Lord’s message to “love one another”
