Mission: † Cataldo Catholic School's mission is to provide for the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical growth of all students. The school is an integral part of the ministry of the Catholic Church, in partnership with St. Augustine, Sacred Heart, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes. As a community, parents, staff, and pastors collaborate to develop and implement an educational experience that enables students to integrate Catholic faith, Tradition, and values throughout their lives.
Philosophy: Cataldo Catholic School is a faith community that recognizes and supports "parents as the most influential agents of catechesis for their children" (To Teach as Jesus Did, Section 52, NCCB, 1973). The school community provides a Christ-like atmosphere where students develop their God given potential and learn to respect the dignity of all. The community models the values and principles it instills in its students. Cataldo Catholic School provides research-based programs necessary for the growth of the whole child.
