Principal's Welcome
“Let us thank all those who teach in Catholic schools. Educating is an act of love; it is like giving life.”
–Pope Francis
–Pope Francis
On behalf of our wonderful faculty and staff and Father Chris Lowe, Administrator of Saint Michael Parish, I warmly welcome you to Saint Michael Catholic School.
If you are a returning parent or student, then you know first-hand what makes Saint Michael Catholic School a joyous place to learn and to grow. For 132 years since 1889, Saint Michael School has stood for academic excellence and the Catholic values of concern and care for the common good.
If you are a new parent or student just joining us this year, you have made a great decision. I wish you a happy year. Along the way, please reach out to me directly if you have any questions or I can help with anything.
If you are a parent considering Saint Michael for your child, I am here with our faculty and staff to give you a tour, to answer your questions and to show you the “Saint Michael Difference”:
✓ Small classes with a dedicated faculty and staff.
✓ K-8 technology classes and Chromebooks for all students in grades 5-8. We’re the only Catholic
school in the Merrimack Valley to offer Lego Robotics, Three-D modeling and a Media Room.
✓ Advanced science and math classes and literature-based reading.
✓ A full program of art, music, sports and after-school clubs.
✓ The practice of our Catholic faith and values. You do not have to be Catholic to enroll at Saint
Michael School. But all students are guided in the Catholic faith and participate in an enriching religious studies program.
The goal is to enable your child to deepen a relationship with God so as to discover his or her God-given purpose and potential.
Thank you for all you do to make the world a better place through your work and support of your family. I wish you a wonderful school year during 2021-2022 and I look forward to seeing you here at Saint Michael School.
In hope and heart,
Mark
