MISSION
At Saint Agnes Catholic School, we are dedicated to nurturing students spiritually, academically, and emotionally so that they can embrace life’s challenges and strive for excellence, following the example of Jesus Christ.
Inspired by Matthew 28:19-20, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations…. Teaching them to carry out everything I have commanded you,” the Church sees education as a divine mandate:
Teaching the Faith: Empowering students to live and share their faith.
Holistic Development: Ensuring students grow in body, mind, and spirit.
Arlington Diocese Bishop Michael Burbidge emphasized the role of Catholic education in shaping well-rounded citizens, citing Pope Benedict XVI: “You form new generations not only in knowledge of the faith, but in every aspect of what it means to live as mature and responsible citizens in today’s world.” — Pope Benedict XVI, 2010
