Good Shepherd School - Good Shepherd Catholic Church

The Good Shepherd school is a Catholic community dedicated to academic excellence, enriched by faith and tradition and lifelong discipleship in Christ! We welcome and respect children of all faiths.

Good Shepherd Catholic School is accredited by the National Federation of Non-Public School State Accrediting Association (an association recognized by and in good standing with the state of Missouri). We serve children ages preschool through eighth grades. Our faculty and staff strive to help our students to become Disciples of Christ by growing spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. At Good Shepherd we partner with our families to help students grow and succeed. Along with our entire church community, we encourage our children to be life-long learners, with a commitment to service, faith, family and the Catholic traditions of love and respect. We offer our students more than an education we offer them a formation that will give them tools for a successful life.
