Our Mission

As a Catholic School, St. Rose of Lima recognizes education as a life-long process. We are committed to
developing the spiritual, intellectual, moral, social, physical and emotional dimensions of every child.
Acknowledging that each student is a child of God, we strive to challenge them to embrace God's message
and to achieve academic excellence. Administration, faculty, and staff together with parents and guardians,
serve as role models to bring students to their full potential. We are dedicated to creating a Christ-centered
environment for the children whose families seek a quality Catholic education. This mission will manifest
itself as our students make positive contributions to our world.
