Mission
Statement
St.
Anthony of Padua Catholic School provides an elementary education
in the Franciscan spirit for African American children.
Students from all cultures are welcomed, respected and valued.
Through genuine collaboration of parents, parish, local community
and dedicated staff, St. Anthony of Padua nurtures in each student
a desire to become a resourceful, lifelong learner, and a builder
of the kingdom of God.
Founded
in 1951 by Franciscan Friars and Sisters, St. Anthony of Padua
Catholic School is truly a blessing to the Greenville community.
A safe environment for the early
years of education prepares these future citizens for the challenges
and opportunities to come.
