A MESSAGE FROM

OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Prospective Families,


Welcome to St. Rose of Lima Elementary School! We are a Catholic Elementary School that serves students in grades Prek 3 through grade 6 in the greater York area. I am honored to have you take this opportunity to learn more about our wonderful school.


St Rose of Lima Elementary School has been a pillar of the York area since 1918 and we have continued to serve our families with a mission focused education. St Rose of Lima Elementary School is firmly rooted in Catholic values and strives for educational excellence by facilitating the intellectual, spiritual, and physical growth of each child.


Our school is blessed with outstanding students, supportive parents, and an experienced faculty and staff. We are committed to working together with parents to provide our students a quality education in a safe, positive environment in which to learn. At St Rose of Lima, we recognize parents as the primary educators of their children. We value the partnership between the school and parents and we encourage parents to take an active role in the education of their children.


St Rose of Lima Elementary School offers a low student to teacher ratio that affords our teachers the opportunity to provide more individualized instruction to our students.


Additionally, it allows our teachers to focus on the social, emotional, and spiritual development of their students.

I sincerely hope you will consider St Rose of Lima Elementary School for your child's education. I invite you to visit us and to see for yourself all the great things our children and teachers are doing. We look forward to meeting you!


Respectfully,

Mrs. Sharon Johnston, MAT
