SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS
Queen of All Saints strives to foster a stimulating environment in which students learn skills of lifetime value: how to study, how to manage time, how to think for themselves and how to make individual decisions.

The Mission of Archdiocesan Catholic Schools calls for schools to be Catholic, Excellent and Vital. Catholic Schools exist primarily to evangelize and educate students for the Church’s mission in the world. Catholic schools provide students the opportunity for educational excellence in the Catholic intellectual tradition.

In the last several months, we've been undergoing some wonderful new changes in the School and Parish. Your support and contributions make this possible. We are happy to mention the addition of the following:

School Improvements over the past ten years include:

• 1 million dollars in interior improvements
• New gymnasium ceiling
• New Computer Lab
• New Science Lab
• New library
• 2 million dollars on exterior restoration of our three school buildings

Upcoming projects on docket:

• New carpeting for classrooms and offices
• New window treatments for classrooms and offices
• New children’s play lot

Queen of All Saints is alive and well and planning for the future. Our strong traditions of Faith Formation and Values-based education are assets to parish life.
