Philosophy

Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School offers each student a Catholic education centered in the teachings of Jesus Christ. 

As members of this faith community, we are bound together by our Christian values and subscribe to the ideal that parents and faculty share the responsibility for the total growth of the student. 

Our constant endeavor is to establish an environment that provides each student the freedom and opportunity to discover their unique talents and abilities, develop a spiritual nature, and grow in their academic abilities and social relationships.  We strive to instill in each child a life-long commitment to learning and service to others.
