"I am proud of my education at Mary, Queen of Heaven School. It has allowed me to excel in high school and will soon allow me to shine in college. The unique, small classes here allow personalized attention from teachers, a factor which has propelled me to success in life. The faith-based curriculum, the wonderful staff, and the one-on-one teaching style evident in every grade combine to make MQH the best Catholic grade school around. I will take the knowledge, friends, and life experiences I've garnered from MQH with me for the rest of my life."

Mary, Queen of Heaven School prides itself in its Catholic Identity.  Religion class is taught daily, and students attend Mass twice each week. The Masses are enhanced with the leadership of student cantors, and classes take turns preparing prayers of the faithful and reading the scripture passages. 

Service is learned and lived as students participate in service projects which benefit local and distant social agencies.  Eighth grade students make a field trip to a nearby poverty area to aid their understanding of the needs of the poor.  School wide projects include collections of warn clothing items in December and a “Sock Hop” dance and sock collection in the spring.

MQH is fortunate to have three clergy, two priests and a deacon, who visit each grade quarterly and teach the students about our faith.  The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated monthly for all students.  Sacramental preparation is done in coordination with the parish religious education program. 

Prayer is a big part of our day here at MQH.  Student lead morning prayer begins our day.  Classroom prayer may take many forms throughout the day.  Classes visit church and spend time during Eucharistic Adoration.  Junior high and primary class buddies get together and pray the rosary by the Mary shrine in October and May.  Each day ends with prayer led by the principal.

 

Our 2009-2010 school year proved to be very rewarding for our students and staff.
