“We have been blessed to have our daughter be a part of the St. Catherine's family since 1st grade. They have been there every step of the way, supporting her in her education and faith. Her love for school and God are present every single day, thanks to the teachers and staff’s guidance. Our family has made so many memories so far, and we look forward to all the others to come.”

— Alexa Dumont 

“Since we joined the SCS family over 5 years ago, we have felt right at home. Our children have loved their school experience and the friends and connections they have made. As parents, we have always felt that we have a voice in our children's education and we have enjoyed the community that has been formed around our school.”

— Mariah Frisella
