PHILOSOPHY

The administration and faculty of Saint Cornelius Catholic School recognizes that it shares with the family the educational mission of the Church. We endeavor to build a total faith community based on the gospel challenge of dedication to love, freedom, and social justice.  It is our hope that each student will feel accepted, develop a realistic self-image, learn according to God-given ability and grow in awareness of the needs of others within the local, national and global community.
