The teachers are really dedicated and love the children. There are some afterschool programs like chess and music. It is a small school with just one class per grade. The sence of family is well felt all aorund the school. It is a wonderful environment where my son is receiving good values and a good education.
We are so happy to have our child at this wonderful school. Small class sizes ,supportive teachers, and a responsive administration...what more could we ask for? This is school is a gem!
Well, here we go again. Sorry to say a change in principals.I don't know the reason why--the real truth never comes out. We had tremendous change for the good with Mr. Kruska--I know the kids and parents will miss him very much. The kids can relate to him. We will see what happens next but it better be for the best or I am out of there.
This school has come a very long way! My child has attended this school since kindergarten and has made excellent progress. Throughout the years, I have witnessed administration issues here as all schools unfortunately go through, but all in all, the faculty and staff have always been highly dedicated! All I can say is that even as a parent who is a public school teacher, I will continue to make the sacrifice to pay for the education and positive, small school environment my child gets at SCSS that I can not get at a public school! Thank you SCSS family!!
We have come a long way. The school looks much prettier, the parish and school are working together to improve the school, there are more extra-curricular activities, and the new principal has brought a new energy and enthusiasm that the school needed. We are very happy here, and my children love their school. The teachers are awesome and very dedicated. They are always willing to work with the parents to provide the best education for your child. The Christmas play was beautiful and it is nice to see the parish members just as involved as the parents. Our new priest is also wonderful and very supportive. Mr. Kruska and Father Paul (new priest) have made very positive changes to our school and parish. There is truly a sense of community and the excitement is felt from the classroom, to the masses. Your hard work is noticed and appreciated. We love SCSS!
St. Catherine of Siena rocks! As a parent of a student who attends this school, I'am constantly being amazed by the staff as a whole . They all work so hard for our children, it has inspired to be more involed. This school has a very family friendly enivorment, they make you feel like your at home.
i think this school has taken a turn for the worst since my son has been attending there, four the past four years they have have three principals and with every change of the faculty including the teacher changes it seems to get worse off....i am actually looking for a knew school for my son to attend at the moment....
After years of watching the school student population decline, its wonderful to see the school full of students. Kids look forward to attending school! Mr. Kruska has brought a new spirit back to the school, one that has been lacking for the past few years. Great Job to all of the faculty!
St. Catherine's has gone through a tremendous change, for the good. The new principal, Mr. CJ Kruska has come in with new ideas and with some new staff. The focus is on the academic basics, while ensuring the the religious education is foundation for this catholic school. New programs have been introduce regarding extra curricula activites, such as chess champions, dance,music and more. It's an exciting time to be at St. Catherine Parish School.
The school is making a positive turn around. Academics have improved, Ms. Fox is working hard to turn the school over to our new principal which seems to have the right attitude that our school needs. Teachers continue to work hard in giving students individualized instruction. Office staff very polite and helpful. With more parent involvement our school can continue to rise.
