A unique Catholic identity makes Saunders Catholic Schools “schools for the human person” and allows them to fill a critical role in the future of the Catholic Church, our country, and our world by forming disciples of Christ. By offering spiritual development, ministry programs, religious formation, and education programs, to our students and communities, we can live out our Catholic faith in all areas of our lives.
