FROM OUR TEACHERS...
"Teaching at St. Paul School is not just a Profession, it's a Passion!"

"I teach at St. Paul School because Catholic, Christian values are incorporated throughout each day. My faith is very important to me and St. Paul School provides an opportunity for me to give back to the faith community. At St. Paul, I can help each child grow spiritually as well as academically. St. Paul provides a caring, Christian atmosphere for each child's learning day and encourages the children to be the best they can be."
- Kyle Klostermann - 1st Grade

"The best part of teaching at St. Paul is the cooperation from the parents. Good communication between school and home is essential and the families at St. Paul recognize this important factor. As children grow and learn, they need to know someone cares about them. I feel the faculty at St. Paul always does their best to give praise and acknowledge students for their good qualities."
- Sherri Shomaker - Kindergarten

"St. Paul's has always valued the the partnering of teachers and parents in educating children. My own daughter Sara (St. Paul Class of '96) and son Nathan (St. Pail Class of '00) have continued to excel academically. Catholic education at St. Paul's gave them an academically enriching, faith-filled beginning to their lives."
- Barb Jatcko - 5th Grade

"At St. Paul, I have had the privilege of working with a group of highly motivated, qualified, and dedicated teachers. Their enthusiasm and compassion has created an atmosphere unequaled anywhere! We're a family... it's not just a job. I believe so strongly that St. Paul is the best place for a child's education that I send my children to this school."
- Mary Ann Peshak - 4th Grade

"Catholic education provides the framework for discovery and learning that can reach beyond the materialism and consumerism of the present and popular worldview. Within the curriculum, up-to-date information about our world, our language, mathematics, the fine arts, etc. can be woven into issues of morality, truth and the meaning of life. It brings me hope to teach the young people about important, often unseen, aspects of spiritual awareness, the power of prayer, and the strength of the soul so needed in our world today."
- Karen Welling - 8th Grade

"It is so rewarding to watch the growth of each student as the school year progresses. They are each unique individuals with special talents. With our class size, it is easy to give individual help. Our Religion Classes are so important to the values we instill in each student."
- Renee Mitchell - 4th Grade

"At St. Paul, I am involved in helping children develop their spiritual and moral lives. I am allowed to pray with them when they are distraught. Personal value development is discussed and linked to lessons about living as a Christian in the world today. Most importantly, God is incorporated into all subject areas, not just Religion Class."
- Kathy Sherman - 7th Grade

FROM OUR PARENTS...

"I feel St. Paul School has really been a blessing in our family. My husband and I have two boys who attend the school and we have seen a huge difference in their behavior, along with the learning. We believe it is important to learn about God in school. It really is great to be able to sit down at the table as a family to have dinner and one of the boys, without asking starts to say grace. Thank you St. Paul School. We feel St. Paul School has a lot to offer. Small class room size is wonderful because their is more one-on-one with the students. I love being able to walk in the school and the teachers, principal, and office staff know me by name and ask how I am doing. To my husband and I, it is more of a family to us not just a school where we drop our children off in the morning. I would strongly recommend St. Paul School!
- Mark & Stephanie Yates - Highland, IL

"Over the past few years I have seen my children develop into fine young students at St. Paul School. Because of the daily challenges that they are faced with, I feel St. Paul School has the guidance and curriculum to help them succeed in their future years. The teachers are always willing to help you as a parent understand your child's needs and strengths. Because St Paul School sets their standards so high, I feel my children are getting the best Christian education."
- Jason & Sarah Wiegman - Pocahontas, IL

"The Highland area is fortunate to have two terrific schools to choose from in the public school and St. Paul. To us, however, there were two aspects that mattered most: The Teacher to Student ratio, and more importantly, the overwhelming presence of Jesus in the classroom through a Christian education. St. Paul won out on both. We can see the difference in our daughter's behavior - she is becoming a polite, caring, Christian. And in this day and age, you owe it to your children to strongly consider a Christian-based education..."
- Brady & Debbie Kesner - Highland, IL
