At St. Isaac Jogues
We focus on the education of the whole child. Our standards are based on the tenets of the Catholic faith and all that we do and teach is based on a foundation of christian morals and behavior. Daily prayers, weekly masses, the opportunity for confession and adoration, our curriculum, including religion, our policies and daily procedures all reinforce the development of self and social awareness, responsible behavior and self-management skills.
D.A.R.E Drug Awareness Resistance Education
D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles and it is now being implemented in 75 percent of our nation’s school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world. D.A.R.E. is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives.
At St. Isaac Jogues, our 6th graders are led through a 10 week program by our local D.A.R.E. police representative, Office Coughlin, and culminates with a student pledge and graduation ceremony. St. Isaac Jogues D.A.R.E. students also have the opportunity to participate in an all-night party hosted by the local police department. Visit D.A.R.E. for more information.
