St. Agnes Cathedral School strives to create and foster an environment in response to the call of the mission of the Church: to proclaim the message of Jesus, to participate in worship, to build a faith community, and to respond in service to others locally and globally.
Believing in the uniqueness of each child, St. Agnes Cathedral School fosters a safe and respectful learning environment. It incorporates a holistic approach to education: academic excellence, affective and creative development, as well as the spiritual, physical, emotional, and social growth of its students.
Founded in 1917, and rooted in the Dominican tradition, the success of St. Agnes Cathedral School is predicated upon the positive response of a vibrant faith community of clergy, administrators, faculty, staff, students, and parents who are committed to Catholic education.
