Mission Statement

The mission of St. Charles Borromeo Parish School in partnership with parents is to educate and inspire all students to reach their highest academic potential. In a Christ-centered atmosphere our students are empowered to live the Gospel message and to become life long learners who contribute to our global society.

History of St. Charles Borromeo Parish School

   St. Charles Borromeo School was opened to the children of the parish on September 9, 1964.  Reverend Francis V. McCusker, the founding pastor, celebrated the Mass of the Holy Spirit to begin the first session of the school year. Sr. Mary Wendelin, a Sister of Mercy of New Jersey, was the first principal. Four hundred twenty five pupils were enrolled in grades one through four with two classes of each grade.
    In 1979, a Kindergarten program was established with morning and afternoon classes. In September, 1995, the school community welcomed the addition of a Kindergarten building housing two classrooms. This new building enabled parents to enroll their children in a full day program. In September, 1996, an early Childhood Program for three and four year olds was established. Today, there are approximately three hundred students enrolled from Pre kindergarten through grade eight and the faculty is comprised of twenty-seven dedicated educators. The Sisters of Mercy are prayerfully remembered in our school.
