About Us
Situated on a beautiful 20-acre parish campus, Resurrection Catholic School provides a safe, nurturing, and faith-filled environment where every child is known, valued, challenged, and celebrated. We believe each student is uniquely created by God with individual gifts and talents, and we strive to cultivate those gifts through rigorous academics, meaningful relationships, and engaging learning experiences. While proudly embracing our Catholic identity, we warmly welcome students and families of all faith traditions who seek an education grounded in excellence and Gospel values.
The four pillars of our mission are woven throughout the educational experience at Resurrection Catholic School. We foster Compassion by encouraging empathy, kindness, and respect for the dignity of every person. We build Character by developing integrity, responsibility, perseverance, and moral leadership rooted in Christian values. We pursue Knowledge through a rigorous curriculum that inspires curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. We promote Service by providing opportunities for students to live their faith through acts of generosity, stewardship, and outreach to others.
Our graduates are well prepared for success in high school and beyond. Each year, many of our students continue their educational journey at Santa Fe Catholic High School and other outstanding public and private high schools throughout Polk County. Equipped with a strong academic foundation, deep faith, and a commitment to Compassion, Character, Knowledge, and Service, our graduates are prepared to make a positive difference in their schools, communities, and the world.
