The Mission
of Saint Patrick School is to provide every student with an
education of the highest academic excellence while integrating
into that education the teachings of the Catholic church. The
school ministers to the child by cultivating the spiritual,
intellectual, emotional, creative and physical development of
its students. It is committed to helping all students form solid
spiritual values and healthy relationships with others.
Saint Patrick School, Carlisle, was recently identified as a Top School
by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY). As the Johns
Hopkins University program manager states, "It suggests you have a
solid core of very high achieving students. It also suggests that you
look out for your top students' best interests by encouraging them and
their parents to investigate outside academic options like CTY.
Participating at high levels in the annual CTY Talent Search reflects
upon the school's academic quality, student abilities, and teacher
talent. It also reflects upon the school leadership that encourages
students to seek out educational challenges beyond traditional school
walls." According to school principal, Ric Fly, and the school CTY
program manager, Judy Mullery, this recognition also reflects the
emphasis that their students' parents place on education and the
tremendous support they give their children and the school. They are
honored to have their students, families and faculty recognized by such
a prestigious program.
