Mission Statement:
The Parish community of Divine Infant Jesus calls the school to prepare its students for their high school experience and their role as the future of the Catholic Church. The school does this by integrating and imparting faith, respect and moral values throughout its academic curriculum.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
Divine Infant Jesus School is a Catholic School whose faculty, staff, students and parents join their parish priests and fellow parishioners to form a living Catholic community bound together in mutual aid, respect, responsibility and cooperation.
Divine Infant Jesus School is part of the ministry of the Catholic Church and strives to be a strong Catholic community enlivened by faith in the Lord Jesus. Our faith inspires mutual trust and respect among faculty, parents and students.
The school is an extension of the training and guidance provided in the home. Our school strives to develop a program of academic excellence in which each student can attempt to realize his/her own unique potential as they prepare for their high school experience while developing as a Christian member of the community. We expect our students to develop a belief in God, in self and in others. Catholic Christian values are taught throughout the curriculum. We strive to reinforce social values of courtesy, respect, concern, justice, forgiveness and honesty--values first taught by parents as the primary educators of their children.
School History:
Established in 1952 by founding Pastor, Fr. Charles Langan.
