The mission of St. Jerome Parish School is to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, not only by our words but by our actions. We strive to promote an atmosphere conducive to interpersonal growth by providing guidance in the development of character, positive self-concept, creativity, spiritual growth and social values. Within each student's capabilities, we hope to establish a solid academic and religious foundation from which each child is motivated to grow, and to develop the highest Christian ideals. We continually strive to make students aware of their responsibilities for the world in which they live. St. Jerome's seeks -to motivate students to live as part of a believing community which works to serve the needs of society; to foster love of life, love of family, and love of country; to enable students to embrace the plurality of culture and creeds and to respect and reverence this, following the example of Jesus, our teacher. In cooperation with parents, teachers, students and the entire parish community, WE strive to be a consistent example of Christian witness, professing self-discipline, self- knowledge and respect for human uniqueness. We hope to accomplish this commitment within a loving, supportive environment. In order to fulfill this mission we recognize the necessity for on-going educational renewal, and resolve to evaluate consistently our school's mission and academic programs.
