About us
Our mission at St. John the Baptist Catholic School is to provide a quality education throughout the daily curriculum and all extra activities. Learning will take place in a faith-filled environment. Christian values and morals will be taught as the basis for students to develop spiritually, cognitively and socially.
VISION STATEMENT
The vision for the future of St. John the Baptist Catholic School is that it will continue to provide a quality education for the families of St. John the Baptist Parish and for the surrounding parishes. The school will remain viable and continue to prepare students spiritually, cognitively and socially to be contributing members of the Church and community.
PURPOSE
St. John the Baptist Catholic School (PK-8), an educational ministry of St. John the Baptist parish, exists to help our students be the best people they can be. This is achieved through high scholastic, moral, and spiritual standards. The Catholic faith and traditions are passed on through the teachings and personal life examples of the teachers and staff.
The school serves the students, parents, and the communities of St. John the Baptist, Red Bud; St. Patrick, Ruma; St. Boniface, Evansville; and other surrounding parishes. Together we prepare the students to share the Catholic traditions; to practice virtues in our world; to become responsible citizens; and to serve God, their families, and their community.
We provide a faith-filled atmosphere where students learn by example, nurturing, and high academic standards. Prayer, liturgies, service, and discipline are distinctive elements of St. John the Baptist Catholic School. Intellectual and spiritual growth is emphasized as we serve others through outreach projects, participate in extra-curricular activities, and build community within our school family.
