Our fundamental task is the education of the whole person, blending learning with faith and with daily life.

We are dedicated to achieving these goals in a safe and positive Christian community.

SCHOOL HISTORY
In 1985 the first mass was celebrated in Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. Eleven years later a survey was conducted to establish the need for a new school- 68% of the respondents supported building a new school. In August of 1998 SEAS School Steering committee formed. After a long process of zone changes, paper work, the United in Faith Campaign and parking lots being built, SEAS had a ground breaking ceremony in July of 2004 for the school construction to begin.

Seton Catholic School’s first School Board was formed in September of 2004. After long hours of hard work, registration for the first year began that November. Seton Catholic School was completed in June of 2005 and opened the doors in August for 307 students Pre-K through Kindergarten.
