Mission

Statement

Founded in 1893, Saint Elizabeth Elementary School, in partnership with parents, is a caring Catholic community committed to the education of children. In this safe environment we prepare our students to become spiritually aware, socially conscious and lifelong learners who respond to the Gospel message.

Philosophy Statement

Saint Elizabeth Elementary School is a Catholic faith community committed to teaching the Gospel message in a safe, challenging and loving environment and grounded in the Dominican and Franciscan educational tradition of truth and peace. Families, as primary educators, and staff, in support of their role, strive to educate the individual with dignity by challenging each to reach full potential, stimulating intellectual curiosity and fostering service.

School Pledge

I promise to respect all of God’s creation, to try my best and work hard every day, to follow Christ’s example and be a role model, and to treat others as I would like to be treated. I promise to be a peacemaker, to be truthful, loving, and responsible for my actions, and I promise to stay with God.
