Why Choose St. Edmond Catholic School?

“Of all the investments we make as parents to prepare and protect our family, none is greater than the investment in their education and their Christian faith.

We choose to invest in a Catholic education for our children for many reasons, but the main one is we want our children's formative years to be spent in a place where prayer is accepted, abundant, unrestricted and encouraged. We want them to have not only an academic education, but a faith education that is fully integrated in their everyday lives. We want them to have a home away from home in a place that will help keep them grounded, humble and merciful to others.

The faculty at St. Edmond have a great love for the students. They truly believe in the importance of including Christ in the classroom. Their love for our school is shown in their dedication and commitment to shaping the hearts and minds of our youth.”

The Stucky Family

Leo & Kate Stucky and their children Cambrie (3 PS), Connor (K), Collin (1 year) and Clete (2nd)

“Saint Edmond has become not only a place where my children are educated but a place where our entire family is being formed as Christian disciples. Many opportunities have opened up for our family through St Edmond and we have been able to grow in faith together. It has afforded us with so much more than an education for my kids. SE and the HTP community have nurtured us with the programs, support, and faith based education to help us all grow in faith and glorify God in our community.

The fruitfulness of what is happening in the school is beyond comprehension on the impact it has and will have in the future on all the lives it touches. We are forever indebted to a place where not only our children are loved but our entire family is surrounded in Christ's presence.”

Another Testimonial for Choosing St. Edmond “The atmosphere within Saint Edmond Catholic School is unique as it involves grades pre-K through 12th grade. Grades are encouraged to be involved in programs, activities, plays, etc of other grades creating a family type environment that is welcoming. On many occasions, I have witnessed my 1st grader recognizing a high schooler and running up and hugging them. You cannot get this type of atmosphere anywhere else!

Teachers go above and beyond to ensure your child/children achieves their highest potential. Whether it's encouraging them to try new things or providing extra help in reading. They even provide work books to your child during the summer.

Parents are consistently involved with what is happening in the class room. Teachers will send photos of activities your child experienced in the classroom or communicate concerns they are having in real time.

The Patterson Family

Travis and Amber Patterson and their children Cora (3 PS), Eden (1 year) & Natalie (2nd)

Students are encouraged to live Saint Edmond values by earning VIP bucks that they can either purchase an item from the VIP store or save up to do something within the school. Our daughter saved hers this year to be able to go to a Kindergarten class and help out. These are a few of the many reasons why our family will continue to choose Saint Edmond Catholic School.”
