The Impact, Meaning, Value, Importance of Catholic Education
Experience the Difference a Catholic education can make in your child’s life.
Our children love attending a faith based school and have commented that starting the day with a prayer and being able to have faith be part of their day is comforting.
Mary Ellen and Patrick - parents
We really appreciate how much the teachers communicate and share all that is going in the school and especially the classroom. We receive weekly newsletters that include curriculum updates, weekly assignments, projects and tests that our daughters are working on. We enjoy the discipline and religious standards that the staff entrusts on the students. This foundation will only benefit our daughters as they grow older.

I see the incredible value in Catholic education. The value is not only in the education, but also because of the community that comes with it. It is a whole package deal! A high-quality, Christ-centered education with loving teachers who genuinely care for your children, students who are taught Christian values and strong character, and a family-like community from which to form lifelong friendships.

Faith, learning, community, and service are the threads that knit our school together. Our school is firmly rooted in faith and students become and live what they believe.
Candace S.- Parent
The staff and teachers at St. John Neumann Academy serve wholeheartedly. They care as much about helping students develop strong values, faithfulness, and character as they do about education. Care and intention are felt in all they do and we continue to be impressed by the safe and loving environment.
Lauren N. - parent
In addition to receiving an excellent college-prep education, I love that my son is genuinely cared for by all at PCHS: teachers, administration, staff, coaches, and fellow students. He is encouraged, and supported, to grow not just academically, but spiritually, emotionally, and as a leader. My son is known and nurtured here. The benefits of this educational experience are unrivaled!
Jennifer Gates - Parent
I am so grateful that my teachers have helped me not only with academics but also with my ability to find the virtues within me in order to meet the challenges that lay ahead.
