In the daily operation of CCS, they incorporate the principles of our founders, St. John Baptist de la Salle, upon whom our school’s philosophy is based – “to teach minds and touch hearts.” They also strive to emulate the virtues of Mother Therese Chevrel, who calls us to “love one another…uphold one another.”

Our Pre-K students celebrated their Guardian Angel Ceremony yesterday. Each child received a Guardian Angel medal to remind them of their angel’s loving care and protection. We are so proud of our youngest students as they continue to grow in faith!
