Mission Statement

Anchored in faith, belief, and tradition, Saint Brendan Catholic School is committed to providing a Christ-centered environment that serves our spiritual, academic, and social needs as we navigate our faith journey together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We, the faculty of Saint Brendan School, are committed to reinforcing the Catholic values that have been taught in the home by the parents – the primary educators. We have an opportunity to promote a Catholic, educational community surrounded by God's word.

In an effort to achieve these goals, we will motivate the students to develop their talents and abilities to their fullest potential by:
- encouraging the students to lead Christian lives through religious instruction and examples of Christian living.
- aiding the individual student in developing sound critical thinking, decision making, and problem solving skills.
- ensuring that the students are able to communicate effectively and compassionately for their success and that of the world.
- helping our students become aware that their actions whether positive or negative, have an effect on others in their classroom and in the world.

We, as teachers, recognize our responsibility to inspire and guide each student by our example, as well as by teaching. It is our goal to give each student the best in education for this life and to guide them in their quest for eternal life.
