Welcome

Mr. Al Drago, Principal

Welcome to Bishop Baraga Catholic School, where we present both faith and knowledge to our students in an atmosphere of charity, compassion, and understanding. We strive to provide an excellent education in an environment that gives parents and students the support necessary to grow in both knowledge and faith.

Our classes are small—on average, the ratio is 10 to 1—which allows teachers to provide instruction at a level suited to each student's ability. Parents are essential to the success of this school. We are family-centered and believe parents are the first teachers of their child.

This year we are expanding our program to include P.E., Art, and possibly STEM. While we are a Catholic school, we welcome anyone who would like to be part of our community. However, we do require all students to respectfully participate in the teachings of the Catholic Church. We do not insist on belief, just respect for those who do.

Please look us over and decide if this is the right school for you and your student. We are offering the first term free to new families and returning families.

May God's blessings be on you and your family.
