School Board Mission
We believe St. Gilbert School is called by God and by the Catholic Community of this parish to provide a quality Catholic education for the children of this parish.  We commit our school to providing a strong, challenging, academic, and religious program that fosters the development of each child’s unique talents, complements the role of the family in nurturing a strong sense of self-worth in each child to enable the child to meet  the challenges of today and tomorrow, and encourages positive spiritual, moral, aesthetic, ethical and social sensibilities within the fabric of family, school, and parish.  The educational experience at St. Gilbert School is to be available to all those who seek it.  Therefore, we hold ourselves accountable to the children, their families, and the other members of the parish to fulfill our mission as we have defined it.
