Saints Simon and Jude School provides a quality Catholic education for students in preschool through grade 8. We have a history of strong academics enhanced by the latest technology, fine arts, Spanish, honors math, resource room, media center, and a state-of-the-art science lab.

From the moment students and parents walk through the doors at Saints Simon and Jude, it is our goal that they have a sense of belonging, both to the school and to the parish community.  Our community provides a nurturing environment in which students can feel comfortable learning, growing, and making decisions.

Currently, 369 boys and girls are enrolled at SSJ in preschool through grade 8.
