A Letter From The Principal

Dear Prospective Family,

We are delighted to provide you with information about St. Cecilia School. We are always eager to welcome newcomers to become part of the St. Cecilia family. Our staff, faculty, and students are here to help you learn about our programs and we hope you find our online presence a helpful tool.

Since opening in 1925, St. Cecilia School has provided young people in central Iowa an excellent Catholic education tailored to the needs of each pupil. Our mission is to nurture the whole child with an exceptional academic experience, immersive faith faith formation, creative artistic expression, positive social development, and athletic instruction that strives for a healthy lifestyle.

Like all fine schools, St. Cecilia strives to maintain high academic standards. Equally important to us is the development of a personal faith life for each student. We look to Christ as our example of the perfect educator and exemplar. When challenges arise in our lives, we take comfort facing them with a strong intellect shaped by the gospel message.

Your son or daughter will find in St. Cecilia School a place where they can identify and fully develop the gifts with which they have been blessed. Our outstanding educators, support staff, and community strive to foster an environment of loving service and high expectations. By the time they leave St. Cecilia School, our students are well on their way to developing the personal and academic habits to become courageous, thoughtful, successful people who will contribute to our world in meaningful ways.

To experience the unique character of St. Cecilia School, we invite you to come see us. Please schedule a private tour, attend one of our open house events, or join us for mass on Thursday mornings in the parish church. We look forward to the opportunity to personally welcome you to our school and, we hope, to membership in our St. Cecilia family.

Sincerely,

Darcy Spellman
Principal, St. Cecilia Catholic School
