Message from the Principal

We will hold a final 'FAREWELL' Open House on Sunday, May 6th 1-3pm..the students will express their thanks & appreciation - in song - to everyone who has supported St. Gabriel Parish School throughout the years after the 12PM Mass....we hope everyone will join us.
We are now entering into the final weeks of this our final school year. And as emotions can and will run high, it is extremely important that all our students remain focused on their daily classes and homework assignments. End of year testing will take place very shortly & we want all the students to be able to do their best.

Please check below on the homepage for May's activities and any other upcoming important dates.

As always, we thank you for entrusting your most precious gift - your child - into our care each day.

Mrs. Patricia A. Grady
