It is the philosophy of
St. Paul Catholic School to believe in the value of each child as
a unique individual loved by God. |
| We strive to create an environment which will challenge the students
to grow to the fullest academic potential and to develop a healthy
acceptance of self - and a Christian respect for others. |
| We believe that proper attire and hygiene attribute significantly
to this effort and that's why we believe a Dress Code to be beneficial! |
