Mission
Mission Statement
Holy Family School, a faith filled community following the charism of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, is enriched by a diversity of richly laden cultures. Striving to develop to the whole child, we encourage them to appreciate each other and to share their God given talents. We emphasize academic excellence, responsibility, and socialization in a safe learning environment. We recognize each student's uniqueness and encourage them to embrace the presence of God's love in their lives.
Statement of Beliefs
We Believe…
- that the Creator has made parents the primary educators of their children, and that our school works in partnership with them.

- that education should be well-rounded, help students discover their talents and equip them to achieve their maximum potential.
- that facts alone cannot educate, but equally important, values and example.
- that school should promote, not only the acquisition of knowledge, but also the formation of personal values such as self-motivation and discipline, respect for self and others, and responsibility for one’s actions.
