Welcome!

St. Raphael Principal, Barbara CurtisWelcome Friends!

This is an exciting time for all of us at St. Raphael School. Our students are thriving in every way imaginable and, despite difficult economic times, our school continues to grow and prosper. Our success is due in equal parts to the hard work and dedication of our students and families, the excellence of our highly qualified teachers, and the generosity of our friends and supporters. Among the many things we have to celebrate, the following stand out in my mind: 

 

  • Strong teacher retention
  • Active, cooperative leadership, guidance and involvement from parish pastor
  • Accreditation by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges)
  • Year-to-year improvement of student standardized test scores at every grade level
  • Fully equipped computer laboratory
  • Title I Reading Intervention
  • Counseling program that provides peer-group, individual and family counseling
  • Outstanding music and performing arts program
  • Dedicated and active Development Board and Parent Board

As you click through our website, I hope you will take a minute to stop and think not only about how we have accomplished so much but also about what more we hope to achieve. I am sure you will agree that education is essential to the realization of our goals, and I hope you will plan to be a part of our future success.
