Mission

Our Lady of Fatima School is centered in Christ,

committed to learning, and

called to build character in a Catholic environment.

We profess a belief in Jesus Christ, the Savior.  We believe that the Church, as the Body of Christ on earth, has a mission to witness to the Christian message, in particular to its youth.  The Catholic school is unique in that it has accepted this responsibility by providing academic excellence and an environment which acknowledges Christ as the core of human existence.  Catholic education at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School is dedicated to the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, and social development of each student.  This development is grounded in the love nurtured in the home and sustained in the school.  With the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the care and love of Mary, our Mother, we embrace the challenge of developing the total child - a child who integrates his faith with his life and whose strong self-concept enables him to proclaim the Good News as he shares his gifts responsibly in love and service to the community.
