Principal Stephen R. Hart
Dear Parents and Students,
The importance of a great education is fundamental to future success. At Saint Aloysius Gonzaga Academy we offer a Catholic faith based education that will prepare our students to be successful in the 21st Century. Not only do we have a full time instructor for Theology and attend Mass once per week, we have an excellent faculty that will prepare our students to be the leaders of tomorrow. The technology in the school is second to none and it complements our traditional teaching. Saint Aloysius is a small school where each child will get the attention they need to thrive in today’s society.
Sincerely,
Stephen R. Hart - Principal
ST. ALOYSIUS GONZAGA ACADEMY

- Message from Father Brian: The Free and Reduced Lunch Program is a government subsidy to school where every qualifying application brings about $1.00 per lunch that is served to the child over the course of the year. In other words, it’s about $180 per child for a qualifying household. It’s a tremendous help. I’m asking everyone, if you haven’t filled out an application, please do so. Put it in an envelope, seal it, label it, turn it in at school and I promise it will not be opened until it reaches the Archdiocese Superintendent’s office. If you didn’t qualify at the beginning of the year, and your employment situation changes, fill it out again. Thanks to all who have.
