Living the charisms of the Jesuits and Sisters of Providence, Missoula Catholic Schools is compelled through Christ’s love to serve Western Montana families by providing an excellent Catholic education while forming young people of compassion, conscience, competence, and community.
Missoula Catholic Schools and academic excellence are synonymous. An education from Missoula Catholic Schools embraces Gospel values and provides a well-rounded education experience beginning with our thriving Early Education Program and culminating with an excellent high school and college prep curriculum. Both St. Joseph and Loyola Sacred Heart provide strong activities programs and community service opportunities.
Greetings Missoula Catholic Schools & Foundation Community…
I am immensely humbled and honored to be given the blessing and responsibility of serving, in a comprehensive way, Missoula Catholic Schools, Foundation, and community. I look forward to continuing to foster the rich tradition of these Schools in dedicated service to the Gospel, as well as serving all alumni, benefactors, and friends through the stewardship of time, talent, and treasure in support of these educational ministries.
As my tenure begins, it is already clear to me that Missoula Catholic Schools – including both campuses, St. Joseph Elementary and Middle School, and Loyola Sacred Heart High School – is indeed a special place, and all within are deeply committed to the formation of young women and men of compassion, conscience, competence, and community. Together, we will continue to build on the traditions initially begun in 1874 in order to meet the holistic educational needs of the next 150 years.
If you are interested in being a part of Missoula Catholic Schools in any way, as a prospective student/family or as a supporter of our work, please do not hesitate to reach out via the Foundation contact information provided at the bottom of our web page.
It is indeed a blessing to be the servant leader of this extraordinary community, and may our labors ahead be grounded in the teaching of St. Ignatius of Loyola who tells us that we should always be guided by the call to praise, reverence, and serve the Lord.
