History

St. Charles Borromeo School was dedicated on February 24, 1952, and quickly grew to include grades K-8.  St. Charles was originally lead by the Sisters of the Presentation, followed in 1969 by the Ursuline Sisters.

Although many of the religious teachers have been replaced by lay people, the school continues to provide a strong commitment to our Catholic faith, values, customs and traditions. Catholic education is an integral part of the program in all classes and in extra-curricular activities.

Theme
The "Golden Rule" is the catalyst behind the atmosphere at St. Charles Borromeo School. Each morning the entire school participates in school-wide prayer, and this sets the tone for the entire day. Service is the theme and focus for many activities in all classes. Through service to others, we develop a Christ-like love, and we experience joy.

The theme for the 2008-2009 school year is WISDOM. We have daily mottos for each letter to remind us to do our best and to be our best:
W - Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't
I - If you believe you can, or if you believe you can't, you're right.
S - Self-discipline is doing what you know you should do even when you don't want to do it.
D - Dishonesty is to believe in something, and not live it.
O - One thing you cannot recycle is wasted time.
M - Make sure to laugh often and you will be healthy, wealthy and wise.

Principal's Message
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with a human being. We should all be thankful for those who rekindle the inner spirit."

Through education, team building, and a faith community our students become service oriented citizens, who generously give of themselves and appreciate what they have received.

- BJ Rossow-Deming, Principal

Note: St. Charles sends out a weekly newsletter, The Cardinal Flyer, every Tuesday with a message from the principal teaching, encouraging and motivating all to become the people they are destined to become.
