We, the pastor, staff, and parents of St. Thomas More Parish School, are committed to developing the minds, hearts, and souls of our students. By planting faith-filled seeds of good habits, we open our students’ minds to knowledge, their hearts to service, and their souls to the beauty of God’s Creation.
PHILOSOPHY
The faculty, staff, and parents of St. Thomas More Parish School believe that through our combined efforts each child can be formed into a responsible individual with the ability to make right judgments based on Christian values. To this end, we strive to fulfill a shared goal—to build within each student a deep respect for God, self, and others. We provide a safe, loving environment which encourages Christ-like love offers students the opportunity to practice kindness, offer moral support, and develop lasting friendships based upon God’s Word. We believe that by providing a rigorous academic program within a learning environment which emphasizes the importance of self-confidence, self-discipline, respect, and responsibility, we will successfully guide our students to open their minds to knowledge, their hearts to service, and their souls to God’s presence in creation.
VISION STATEMENT
Our vision for the future of St. Thomas More Parish School is to continue to offer an exceptional Catholic education. Academic excellence, quality extra-curricular programs, and a strong Catholic spiritual program remain the focus for the future of the school.
Our vision for the future is to further integrate technology into our academic programs, by purchasing and maintaining state-of-the-art equipment, and by incorporating the use of technology in core subjects. Our goal of keeping up with current trends in technology will further prepare our students to succeed academically after they leave St. Thomas More Parish School.
We seek to assure financial security for the school by significantly increasing our endowment fund. Our long-term goal is to grow our endowment to the point that the interest earned will allow us to maintain a tuition that is affordable as possible, and allow for a generous tuition assistance program.
Finally, we seek to maintain full enrollment in the school by continuing to provide an academically superior education in a nurturing, Catholic setting. We will further this goal by maintaining and enhancing our programs and facilities, and by continuing sound financial practices and marketing.
