Educating the Mind and Heart

We form each child in mind, body and spirit,

so they can become the people that God intended.

Why Catholic Schools

Academic achievement in the classroom alone does not define success. Catholic schools provide loving and faith-filled environments where quality educators illuminate minds and enlighten lives.

"This is an absolutely wonderful school! It is a school that looks at the individuality of your child and creates a world of success and accomplishment!

—  Current SPSL Parent

“St. Bernadette has been a wonderful place…and such a wonderful faith community. Thank you for being amazing and awesome in every way!”

—  Miranda M.,   Parent

“The Catholic identity and faith formation students encounter daily in our schools is the foundation upon which academic excellence is delivered.”

—  Most Rev. George J. Lucas, Archbishop of Omaha

“A Catholic School not only forms the minds of our students but also sets their hearts towards the Risen Christ.”

— Vickie Kauffold, Superintendent of Schools

"We have been very impressed with the strong academic programs which prepare students for the rigor of a college prep high school. In addition, the school instills in students the importance of empathy and helping others."

—  Current SPSL Parent

“Catholic schools are places where students and families become members of a faith community that is enveloped in the love of God.”

— Vickie Kauffold, Superintendent of Schools
