Annunciation Catholic School is founded upon the gospel message of Jesus Christ and the moral precepts of the Roman Catholic Church; therefore, all students are welcome and entitled to be treated with fraternal charity and mutual respect.
All teachers, support staff, and students are expected to understand and display intercultural sensitivity, recognizing the educational richness embedded in all cultural traditions, universality, and inclusiveness of the Catholic tradition.
The school acknowledges that parents are the primary educators of their children, and together with the pastor, principal, teachers, and members of the parish community share in the responsibility to provide a cooperative environment that facilitates the positive growth, both spiritually and academically, in each child’s course of human development.
The school recognizes the obligation to prepare each child to acquire a discerning moral conscience in an instantly gratifying society as well as prepare them to enter a work force that is increasingly technologically driven.
