Catholic Identity

Salina Catholic Schools (SCS) prepares our students for a lifetime of learning, servant leadership, and distinction as disciples of Christ. This is our vision for a better future for our communities. This vision shapes our strategic plan to be your school of choice for your family.

Together, Salina Catholic Schools prepares the whole person – spirit, mind, and body - to be a disciple of Jesus on mission. This is our mission that drives all that we do day-in, day-out, with our students, families, faculty and staff, alumni, and friends of the school. What does this mean for us?

  • Together - We uniquely partner with families in the education of their children. We know the family is where education begins. We honor and design experiences to reinforce that.

  • Disciple of Jesus - The word “disciple” literally means “student.” We are preparing our students to be lifelong “students of Jesus.”

  • On Mission - To be on mission means to share our living faith, to share our experience of being students of Jesus, with others. We proclaim the Gospel through our words, worship, and service through the Corporal Works of Mercy.

Built on the legacy of the Sisters of St. Joseph and the vision of the Diocese of Salina, SCS consists of an Early Childhood Center, a Grade School, and a Jr/Sr High School. We are a 21st-century co-educational learning environment rooted in the traditions and values of the Catholic faith. We are intentional in our approach to bringing students closer to the person of Jesus and expose students to a wide-range of academic, artistic, and athletic experiences that prepare them for success in their life vocations.

Love, Learn, Lead

Students receive an education built on the understanding that our world needs leaders with strong foundations of faith, service, and intellectual fortitude. Because of our love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we commit to finding the goodness in all we encounter. We commit to a lifetime of learning and leading. This idea is integrated into our faith-formation program, our Community House System, and all our academic, athletic, artistic and enrichment activities. Every student is valued, challenged to lead, and supported in exploring their relationship with God.
