Principal's Welcome
Welcome to St. Jude School! As a proud graduate and now the principal, I am honored to lead this wonderful institution that has been nurturing faith and education since 1958. It is currently under the guidance of our Pastor Rev. Joseph Evanko, the Sisters of Christian Charity and a dedicated faculty. We are committed to creating an environment where all children are nurtured spiritually, physically, intelectually and emotionally. As we pray each day--"Christ is the Reason for this School, He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its class, the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students."
​
Sincerely, Sister Ellen Fischer, SCC.
