Mission Statement

Annunciation Parish School will be a sign of God’s presence by our commitment to educate students to possess rigorous academic skills and virtuous characters through faith formation, Catholic identity and service to others.

Vision Statement

Annunciation School recognizes that parents are the primary educator of their children and the school acts only as their colleague, chosen to assist them in the intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual development of their children.  Annunciation School provides an exceptional, high quality education coupled with an emphasis on the evolution of a clear moral orientation.  Students will develop honorable virtues and ethics, which will be reflected in their daily lives.  Students will receive a well-rounded education, preparing them for high school and beyond.  Experiential learning will provide realism to the curriculum and a variety of challenging instructional approaches will support each unique learning style.  Annunciation School embraces its multi-cultured student body, believing it is through this diverse environment that a sense of virtue is instilled, respect for every person is fostered, a desire to improve society is sparked and feeling of tolerance and acceptance will flourish.  Small class sizes, a safe and physically comfortable environment and a dedicated faculty and administration committed to continuous improvement will empower students to become self-confident, self directed, and stimulated with the excitement of learning for life.

Facilities

The main school building at Annunciation has 10 classrooms used by grades PreK through 8, equipped with SmartBoards. We are very proud of our state of the art computer lab, our well equipped music room, science lab, and library. The learning lab is very beneficial to those students with tutoring needs and your child’s creative juices will flow in our warm and welcoming art room.

Annunciation’s Parish Center, the Father Klug Center, was built in 2004. It holds a large gymnasium with a full stage for performing arts. Our dining hall and parish meeting room are also in the Center.
