"Parents are the first and most important educators of their own children, and they also posses a fundamental competence in this area; they are educators, because they are parents." - St. Pope John Paul II
At Spalding Catholic School we wish to partner with you, the parent, and provide the Catholic learning environment that our children so badly need in the world today. We invite you to stop by and visit or click here in the meantime to find out what makes our school special.
"Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Sioux City have a strong tradition. The reason these schools have been so effective is their commitment and understanding of their mission within the Church. Catholic Schools exist to transmit the faith to the next generation of Catholics and to help these students develop their personal gifts from God whether they are in the form of academics, extra-curricular activities or the development of their character. In this manner, our schools serve our parishes as one of our strongest evangelization tools.”
- Bishop R. Walker Nickless, Bishop of Sioux City Diocese
