At St. Leo Catholic School, it is our mission to be an inclusive Catholic learning community that inspires every student to achieve their full potential through faith and education. We recognize our call to love and serve from our Master teacher Jesus Christ, and we are committed to creating a Catholic learning community under the protection of Mother Mary.
The Catholic Graduate Expectations are our foundation as we strive for academic excellence and the acknowledgement of those who achieve it. We recognize God as the source of all life and actively work to focus on social issues within our local and global communities.
We celebrate the diversity within our community with a collaborative approach to learning, in cooperation with parents, the Catholic faith community, and other organizations that recognize the value of our mission. Within the context of Catholic teaching and Sacramental living, our school community strives to demonstrate respect and reverence for all life, thus nurturing a safe, Christian environment for the entire school community.

| Patron Saint |
|
Our patron saint is St. Leo the Great. Pope Leo I, also known as Leo the Great, was Pope of the Christian Church from September 440 AD to his death on November 10, 461 AD. He was an Italian aristocrat who was the first Pope to have been called "The Great." During the time he served as Pope, Italy was being attacked by barbarian armies. He is best known for having met Attila the Hun in 452 AD and persuading him to turn back from his invasion of Italy. St. Leo the Great was not only renowned for building and restoring Churches but was also known for the spiritual leadership he provided for the Roman congregations. His sermons, of which nine have been preserved, are remarkable for their depth, clarity and style. St. Leo died on November 10, 461 AD. His remains are buried in St. Peter's with a special altar over them. In 1754 AD, he was proclaimed Doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XIV. St. Leo's Feast Day is observed on November 10th. |

However, a person cannot give what he or she does not have. Unless we are living the Gospel message, we cannot lead our students to do so. There are many hallmarks of a Catholic educator, including:
