Mission Statement
Our Mission
The mission of St. Charles Borromeo School is to be a beacon of faith, hope and love. In partnership with parents and guardians, we nurture the heart, mind, and soul of each child with a strong grounding in academics and the traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church. We empower students to honor God, others, and themselves. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a special charism of our school heritage that comes to us from our founders, Monsignor James Poole and the religious sisters of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. By affirming the fundamental dignity of all people, we illuminate the paths of the Lord and bring the light of the Good News to all we encounter.
