A Message from Our Principal

element_settings.Image+Text_94464494.defaultSister Helen Thomas, IHM
​Welcome to Good Shepherd Catholic School!
 
GSC, rooted in the traditions of the Sisters,
Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
is a Christ-centered environment focused on nurturing our students’ commitment to God, Scholarship, Community, and Service. 
GSC provides an atmosphere of academic excellence based on the values of love and respect.
 
Our dedicated faculty and families work together to identify and develop each student’s God-given talents and academic promise, preparing students for a faith-filled life of learning, leadership, and love for others. We strive to instill a lifetime appreciation for learning while building the future leaders of our Church and society.
 
GSC provides a safe environment and small class sizes. Our program begins with preschool three-year-olds and continues through grade 8. In addition to our regular classrooms, we have an Honors Math room, a Computer/Technology center, Art room, Music room, a Multi-Purpose room (cafeteria/auditorium with a stage), and a Library. Our library houses our STEM lab, robotics, and maker space.

Our students have access to the following technology: interactive whiteboards, computers (desktops and laptops), iPads and Chromebooks. GSC is a Google School, so each student in grades 4–8 is provided with a Chromebook to use the Google Apps for Education (GAFE), like Documents, Spreadsheets and Presentations. Students in kindergarten through grade 3 use iPads. 
 
GSC provides an after-school “CARES” (Children Are Receiving Extended Services) program, which runs from the end of the school day until 6:00 p.m. Other after-school programs include: Art Class, Dance Classes, and our Drama Club. Students also participate in parish and CYO activities.
 
Our students demonstrate their commitment to Community and Service through various Student Council, parish, and Scouting activities.
 
I hope you enjoy visiting our Website to discover more about our school and all we offer, and please visit our Facebook page to see the many curricular and extracurricular activities our students and families are engaged in throughout the year.
 
Sister Helen Thomas, IHM
Principal
