Saint Michael School exists to promote the spiritual, academic and personal formation of the whole child. As witnesses to the teachings of Roman Catholic doctrine, the students are challenged to achieve excellence in their relationship with God and in all they do. The challenge of the Saint Michael student is to live these teachings beyond our doors into the local and world community. Faculty, parents, and students are the cornerstone upon which we build our faith-based, academic environment. The deepened awareness of the presence of Jesus Christ in our lives is fundamental to life at Saint Michael School.

Saint Michael School assures that everyone understands and accepts our philosophy by making certain it is displayed for viewing on the school website for the community and visitor’s reference. It is also implemented by the faculty and staff of our school on a daily basis. This is to ensure that Saint Michael School’s philosophy statement stays as a living document. Each member of the faculty and staff was given a copy and it is standard policy that all new faculty and staff joining Saint Michael School are also given a copy.
