I am humbled and blessed to serve as the proud Principal of St. Patrick Catholic School, a beautiful Catholic school located on the Northside of Jacksonville, offering PreK-3, VPK, and K-8. It is my pleasure to welcome you to our school website. We thank you for taking the time to visit. We hope to provide you with some useful information.
When I speak to prospective parents about St. Patrick Catholic School, I characterize the school community as family. St. Patrick Catholic School is an educational setting where faith is the cornerstone of all that we say and do. We are first and foremost a Catholic school, however, we welcome and embrace all faiths. Academics and high expectations are important. Through faith experiences like liturgies, prayer services, adoration, reconciliation, and community service, our students leave us well grounded in core knowledge and gospel values. Our students not only excel academically, but they are leaders within their school community. They exemplify the values we strive to instill here at St. Patrick Catholic School!
I also tell prospective parents that St. Patrick Catholic School is composed of a caring group of teachers and support staff. We care about helping students achieve academic excellence, but we know that teaching about respect, individual responsibility and social skills is equally important. We strive to create an environment where students feel safe, comfortable, and respected.
St. Patrick Catholic School is blessed with an active and supportive parent community. Parent involvement in the school exemplifies a strong commitment to Catholic education and contributes to the success and excellence of our school. Service is a hallmark of Catholic Schools and through service our families take on the hands and feet of Jesus, as they give of themselves to others.
If you would like to hear more about our school, or arrange a visit, call our office at 904-768-6323 or you can send me a direct email, to jkent@spcsjax.org. I look forward to learning more about you. I want to serve and support you in all ways possible.
May God continue to bless and watch over you.
Your Partner in Faith & Education,
Mr. Kent, M.Ed.
