The faculty and staff of Good Shepherd Catholic School are committed to providing a strong Catholic education grounded in the principles of Faith, Hope and Charity. We are inspired by Christ’s call to holiness…you shall be holy, for I am holy (1 Peter 1:16).

In partnership with Good Shepherd Parish, our focus is to provide an environment stressing spiritual growth, educational success, psychological and social stability and physical health, providing a sense of well being of mind, body and spirit.

Building on our multi-cultural heritage and the teaching mission of the Church, faculty and staff are inspired to integrate instruction, culture and faith.  We foster a sincere kinship with Christ and therefore each other, as we teach the fundamentals of our faith and build a solid academic foundation.

We recognize each child as a unique individual with special gifts and creative abilities who grows and learns through friendly interchange among students of diverse cultures.

Parents are paramount in the education of their children. Together we work to facilitate the development of the whole person as a dwelling place for Christ and an asset to his or her community.
