The mission of St. John the Evangelist School is to integrate Catholic philosophy and teaching with academic excellence. Our quality education in both academic subjects and Catholic doctrine is offered within a climate most conducive to learning. Our school is a welcoming community where the gospel message is internalized and proclaimed in a living, conscious and active manner and which is practiced through a service learning process. As faculty, we provide opportunities to foster a faith community with students and their families. St. John the Evangelist, like the church, is a sign of Christ in the world today and an instrument for bringing us to a closer union with God and God's family.

Education is primarily the responsibility of parents. Our intent is to assist the parents in this God-given mission. As teachers, we contribute our professional expertise to help children develop their individual potential and intellectual curiosity through a flexible and diversified curriculum. As we see the uniqueness of each child, we encourage all children to see the uniqueness of others and to celebrate the diversity in others in our school and in the larger community. We encourage our students to recognize their responsibility to apply Catholic values to the problems of today's society and to reach out to the many needs of our community and of the world. We strive to give students a firm foundation upon which they can succeed in future challenges in serving others as Christ instructed us to do.

We welcome our parish's participation in policy formation through the School Advisory Board, and the Home and School Association. It is our belief that the parish community, at every level, also has a responsibility to foster a desire for genuine spirituality and academic excellence and Christ-like acceptance of each other.

Mindful of the past and looking to the future, we recognize the need for on-going evaluation in light of our mission.
