Principal's Message

Welcome to St. Matthew Catholic School. Selecting a school for your child is one of the most important decisions that a parent can make. At St. Matthew, we work each day to provide the very best educational experience for our children. Along with our commitment to education and instruction, we strongly believe in developing Catholic values in our children.

Our students are challenged to use their God-given talents to fulfill their potential as they learn and grow closer to Christ each day. We follow the academic standards in curriculum set forth by the Archdiocese of Portland in all of the core subject areas. We provide an education that offers the students a rigorous curriculum in STEM.  If we are truly going to mold each child into his/her potential, we have to offer a variety of curricular content and enrichment such as music, band, Spanish, PE, health, and art. Each is important to develop the whole child.  We have teachers that insprie them so that they are interested and captivated by the content.  

You will find parents who are actively involved in St. Matthew, sharing with us their time and talent to ensure a quality program both within the school and in the community. Our parents make the effort to help new families quickly and easily feel a part of the school community.

I encourage you to visit our school and let us meet your family. We will provide a tour and a private session to answer any questions. If we can offer further assistance with your decision making process, please don’t hesitate to call me.

God bless you and your family.

Sincerely,

Joanne Smith, Principal
