St. Matthew Catholic School is proud to announce that we earned building-wide Standards of Excellence in reading, math and science AGAIN in 2012!

Individual grade level standards of excellence included:

Reading Standard of Excellence:  5th, 6th, 7th, 8th

Math Standard of Excellence:  3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th

Science Standard of Excellence:   4^th (Only 4^th and 7^th grades are assessed each year in Science.)

This is a huge accomplishment as we continue to progress and improve our scores every year.   We continue to out-perform many other schools in our area and we have much to celebrate!  Our students are able to perform so well on these standardized tests due to the commitment and dedication of our staff, our parents, and the students themselves – congratulations to everyone on the rewards of their hard work!

At SMCS we embrace a call to excellence and nurture all God’s children academically, emotionally, physically and spiritually.  We invite you to come and visit with our staff, and observe our students …. see what SMCS is all about.  We think you’ll like what you see!

We received a phone call this morning from Michael Morissey, Director of the Catholic Education Foundation, and he informed us that St. Matthew Catholic School has been named

2012 CEF School of Excellence! 

Our school will be recognized at the CEF Gaudeamus banquet on October 20 at the Overland Park Convention Center in front of 1200+ attendees from all over the region.  We will receive a School of Excellence Flag, School of Excellence Plaque, and $2,500 in additional scholarship money for this year’s second semester. 

Thank you, St. Matthew families, for all you do to make this a place of peace and learning!
