Our decision to transition our children from public school to St. Elizabeth Parish School was one of the most significant choices we’ve made as parents, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the community we’ve found here. Our only regret is not doing it sooner.

From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt a sense of warmth and belonging. St. Elizabeth is more than just a school—it is a family. The tight-knit community has welcomed us with open arms, providing a supportive environment where our children are known by name, nurtured, and encouraged to grow in both academics and character.

One of the most important factors in our decision was the presence of faith in our children’s daily lives. At St. Elizabeth, faith isn’t just taught—it is lived. The values of kindness, respect, and service are woven into every lesson, fostering a moral foundation that will guide our children throughout their lives.

Academically, St. Elizabeth has challenged our children in ways that have pushed them to grow beyond what we thought possible. The rigorous curriculum, combined with dedicated teachers who set high expectations, has helped them develop a strong work ethic, critical thinking skills, and a deeper love for learning. At first, the transition was an adjustment, but with the support of their teachers and classmates, our children have risen to the challenge and gained confidence in their abilities. The smaller class sizes allow for individualized attention, ensuring they are both supported and motivated to reach their full potential.

The teachers at St. Elizabeth are more than educators—they are mentors and role models who genuinely care about their students’ success. They take the time to nurture each child’s strengths, ensuring they not only excel academically but also develop into compassionate, faith-filled individuals.

Since joining St. Elizabeth, we have seen our children flourish academically, socially, and spiritually. They are thriving in ways we never imagined, and we are so thankful to be part of a school that prioritizes faith, community, and excellence in education.

Our family came to St. Elizabeth Parish School when our oldest was entering 2nd grade. The smaller class sizes, knowing they’d be in one place through 8th grade, and the warmth felt from students and staff felt like a breath of fresh air from the very start. The true community feel, the family-like friendships, the values enforced, the kindness exemplified, the well-rounded opportunities available, teachings of their faith and the rigorous academics (outperforming public schools per the recent press release from the National Center for Education Statistics) are all areas of importance to our family that have solidified our decision without any regret.

If you’ve ever been part of a great team, it sometimes feels like that. Celebrating each others (children’s) successes and everyone working toward the same goals.

We loved our public elementary but for the long term, knew we wanted roots like St. Elizabeth Parish School is providing to us and we could not be more grateful. Thank you, St. E’s!

After having experienced public school locally, I quickly realized after I enrolled my youngest son in Pre-K at St. Elizabeth's, that this was going to be our new 'home' for education.  The close-knit community, and outpouring of support for each and every family could NOT be better.  Having my boys in this Parish school gives me peace of mind knowing that my children are being taught by faith-based teachers and staff, and that their moral compass is always facing the way I want my boys to grow up.  In the Faith.  They are held accountable, taught responsibilities, and good moral judgement.   One cannot put a price-tag on education! Even though our public schools in the district are rated highly, once I moved all my boys to St. E's, I haven't looked back.

Choosing to move from public school to St Elizabeth’s was one of the most important decisions we’ve made, which came down to faith, values, and community. At St. Elizabeth’s, you are surrounded by a strong moral foundation, high academic standards, and a faith-centered environment that reinforces the values we teach at home. Unlike the larger, more impersonal setting of public schools, St E’s provides a tight-knit, supportive community where teachers and families truly invest in each child’s growth—spiritually, academically, and personally. We were willing to make this investment because we were looking for more; we wanted to shape our child’s character, strengthen their faith, and prepare them for a life of purpose and service. We have never once regretted making this choice for our family and are truly grateful to St.E’s!

"We thank the Saint Elizabeth teachers, for the time and energy they have devoted to our oldest daughter's education throughout her nine years at Saint Elizabeth. Maggie entered Kindergarten as a little girl not sure of herself, or what to expect from the classrooms. Nine years later, she is leaving as a respectful and confident young lady with an excellent foundation of Catholic education. She is ready to take on the challenges of High School!

The teachers have also been generous with their time and patience with our younger daughters. Their commitment to Catholic Education and the growth of Maggie, Lizzie, Caitlin and Bridget's Catholic faith is greatly appreciated. We are blessed to be a part of Saint Elizabeth Parish School!"

"We wanted to raise our six boys in a structured environment that would build a solid foundation with a strong emphasis on Catholic values.  Saint Elizabeth has taught our boys to live as Jesus would; to have unconditional love, respect, and an intimate relationship with the Lord. In doing so, they live by the Golden Rule: To love and treat others as you would want them to treat you.

"All of our boys have attended or are currently attending Saint Elizabeth since Kindergarten. Our older boys have graduated and have developed into young, respectable gentleman. They have transitioned into high school beautifully, confidently, and with honors. Saint Elizabeth prepared them academically for high school. Our younger two boys are still attending . They were all involved in CYO sports, Crusaders football, and basketball and were student council representatives. The foundation that Saint Elizabeth provided them was invaluable.

"We are so proud of the decision that we have made for our boys in attending Saint Elizabeth. All of the teachers have been exceptional.  One of our boys had been diagnosed with an IEP. The principal, Dr. Greco, and the wonderful staff  were extremely cooperative, understanding, and helpful. They attended all of our IEP meetings. Together we developed a plan. We can now say that that our child overcame his IEP, and is in now enrolling into honors!

"We would strongly recommend Saint Elizabeth to any family. We will have a total of 17 years when it is all said and done. That’s a marriage! A marriage of education, combined with respectful, loving teachers, and most of all, with a cornerstone of Catholic faith. We know that when that 17th year comes to an end, we can confidentially look back and say…we did it! We did it as an excellent team of educators, priests, parents, children, and the Holy Spirit!"
