We believe that children learn best in a faith environment where parents and educators partner closely together. For that reason, we offer three sections of our preschool classes and two sections of grades Kindergarten through Eighth allowing us to provide an educational environment that is small enough to meet the needs of each child, yet large enough for us to provide students with all of the enrichments and extra-curricular programs that they need to thrive.
Since opening in 2000, we have been blessed with a new and and ever-expanding facility. It houses six preschool classrooms, three playgrounds, an elementary school (with K and 1st on the bottom floor and 2nd through 5th upstairs), a Spanish room, two state-of-the-art technology labs, a large library, six middle school rooms (including a science lab), a competition gym with locker rooms, a fine arts room, and a new cafeteria with a stage and outside eating patio.
This year we are excited to add an elementary science lab and to build a new soccer field. At Prince of Peace School we strive to provide a foundation of faith, manners, honor, compassion, and strong academics to produce engaged life-long learners.

Prince of Peace Catholic School opened August 17th, 2000, with 140 students, ages six months through second grade. The school continued to add one grade each year to meet the needs of the community. In 2007, Prince of Peace graduated its first eighth grade class. Since its inception, the facility has experienced tremendous growth guided by the visions of Father Fallon, Mrs. Angstadt, the parish, and the school community. |

The elementary students, five year old kindergarten through 5th grade, are challenged with an integrated core curriculum that enhances the individual strengths and abilities of all children. Art, music, Spanish, technology, library science, and physical education play a key role in the learning process. Students are actively engaged in lessons guided by the latest research and are authentically assessed. |
