We hold membership in the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA). St. Anne Catholic School operates in accordance with the Archdiocese of Galveston Houston’s Board of Education policy and follows the regulations set forth by the Catholic Schools Office.

Parents and guardians, you are the first teachers of your children and you lay the foundation for a life of learning and faith. We join you as partners – reinforcing and integrating our Catholic faith in the educational, co-curricular and extra-curricular experiences of the students you have entrusted to us.

The Parent Student Handbook is provided to inform students and parents of the procedures and policies of St. Anne Catholic School. We ask that parents read the handbook carefully and review it with their child(ren).

Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston admit all students to the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to the student body.
