Description:
The education your child receives at Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools focuses on four areas of personal development: Faith, Knowledge, Values and Service. FAITH · KNOWLEDGE · VALUES · SERVICE Faith As a Catholic School system, our faith is central to our learning community. Our system's daily mission is to "relate students to God". This happens every day in many ways. Each school day begins with a student led prayer. Starting in kindergarten, students attend weekly masses, in which students help plan and participate in all areas of the liturgy including lecturing, serving and music. Students learn about their faith through religion classes and have opportunities to act out their faith through creative programs such as "What Would Jesus Do?" and "The Parade of Saints" at the elementary level, Leadership Training Retreats and "WWJD?" in the upper elementary grades, and student organizations such as Mission Club and SEARCH retreats at Bishop Heelan High School. Beyond these organized activities, faith is a constant in the classroom and in the lives of Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools students. Providing students a strong faith foundation and giving them daily opportunities to express their faith makes a life long difference. Students who attended Catholic Schools are more likely to practice their faith as adults and more likely to reject those lifestyles and choices that are contrary to Catholic teachings and Christian beliefs. Knowledge As a Kindergarten through 12th grade school system, providing students with "an excellent education" is an integral part of our mission. Our school system excels in nurturing our students' natural curiosity to learn. We strive to help every student feel important and loved as Jesus taught. Our recognized academic curriculum utilizes the latest teaching strategies and technology. Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools offers a variety of programs for children with additional needs including the "BIG" Talented and Gifted program, English as a Second Language, accelerated reading and math programs, tutoring, student mentoring and area education agency services. Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) and Iowa Tests of Educational Development (ITED) scores are consistently above the Sioux City, state and national averages. These higher test scores led to an average 95% of Bishop Heelan graduates going on to attend college with an average ACT score of 23.4.

As part of our mission, we strive to create a learning environment t
