Principal's Message
Welcome to St. Patrick School serving students from pre-school 3 through sixth grade and their families. We have an extraordinary learning community where our teachers, staff, students, and families are actively engaged in making excellence happen every day. At St. Patrick School, our staff truly loves working with children and families. We take seriously the trust you place in us by sending your children to our school every day, and we work hard to make students and families feel safe and supported.
Students experience a rigorous academic journey along with engaging activities to help them grow academically, physically, spiritually, socially and emotionally. The greatest gift we have in our school is our faith and being able to model it in everything that we do. This results in individuals who are active Christ-centered Catholics, life-long learners, effective communicators, and responsible citizens.
I have been dedicated to the field of education for over 23 years and spent all of them as a teacher within the Aquinas Catholic School System. I am delighted and eager to utilize my skills as an educational leader and work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's success.

By integrating our Catholic faith with quality learning experiences, St. Patrick School assists students with developing the skills for becoming responsible members of our school, faith, and civic communities.
The philosophy of St. Patrick School is to provide a nurturing learning environment that promotes strong Christian values, love for God, respect for others, service to community, and prayer. We educate the whole child and support each student's growth spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially and physically.
St. Patrick School is a member of Aquinas Catholic Schools, a unified school system in the La Crosse Deanery of the Diocese of La Crosse. Although the majority of our students are Catholic, our enrollment is not limited to members of St. Patrick Parish. A number of our students and their families are members of other Catholic parishes or faith denominations. Each family is attracted to the excellent education and community spirit the school offers.
