The purpose of Lock Haven Catholic School is to provide the environment and the means by which the whole child is developed and nurtured. This wholeness includes spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, personal, and social growth.

We believe that:

•Every child deserves respect as a unique creation of a loving God with certain individual needs, abilities, and interests.

•Children are our community’s most valuable asset.

•Every single child is the precious creation of a loving God and is deserving of an education in light of the teachings of the Church.

•All children have a right to safety, love, and learning.

•Effective education develops the whole person — spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically.

•Education is the shared responsibility of the school, student, family, and community.

•Children learn at different rates and in different ways.

•Core values of integrity, responsibility, perseverance, and respect are directly related to a person’s sense of self and correlated level of accomplishment.
