Our Mission
Prince of Peace Catholic Education System serves to facilitate the teaching ministry of our parish. Our purpose is to provide educational programs that promote Gospel values and Catholic tradition in the context of a changing world.

Our schools provide a learning environment in which Christian formation and personal growth are as much a priority as academics. The development of effective learning habits, self-discipline and good citizenship is promoted daily and consistently throughout the grade levels. Caring for others, sharing one’s gifts and talents, and serving one’s community are integral parts of Prince of Peace.
