Through a quality educational program and service in their school, parish, and community students are empowered to reach their highest potential as they build the Kingdom of God.

 

 

Philosophy Statement

  • Children should be taught to know, love, and serve God according to the doctrine set forth by the Catholic Church.

  • Children should be taught to center their lives around the Eucharist.

  • At the heart of the educational process lies the child.

  • Children are good and each is unique.

  • Educators and parents cooperatively helping the development of the child’s intellectual, personal, social, physical, spiritual, and aesthetic abilities.

Academics and More!

Shepherd of the Hills offers a strong, faith-based academic program for students in 3 year old Kindergarten through grade 8.  Shepherd of the Hills Catholic School, established in 2001, joined the schools and traditions of Saint Michael’s, Dotyville; Saint Mary’s, Eden; and Our Lady of Angels, Armstrong.  In the spring of 2005, we moved into a new, state of the art building, where we are proud to continue the commitment of providing a quality Catholic education to all of our students.

 

Accredited by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and Wisconsin Religious and Independent Schools, it is our mission to incorporate the values learned at home with the traditions of the Catholic faith into lesions taught in the classroom.

 

At Shepherd of the Hills it's more than just academics -- we give our students opportunities to grow in the Catholic faith and to serve others.  Students are actively involved in the liturgical ministries at weekly Mass and participation in many service activities.
