Principal’s Welcome

St. Raymond Parents and Visitors

Welcome to St. Raymond School.

Whether you are exploring St. Raymond for the first time or are already a cherished member of our Cardinal community, I am delighted to welcome you.

My connection to St. Raymond began as a parent. My husband and I chose St. Raymond for our children because we were seeking a school where academic excellence, Catholic faith, and a strong sense of community were woven into every aspect of school life. Watching our children grow into confident, compassionate, and faith-filled young adults affirmed that we had found something truly special.

Inspired by that experience, I joined the St. Raymond faculty in 2019 as a middle school teacher. Today, it is both a privilege and a blessing to serve as Interim Principal of the school that has given so much to my family.

Since 1954, St. Raymond School has partnered with parents in the sacred work of educating the whole child. Rooted in our Catholic faith, we strive to nurture students who are intellectually curious, compassionate in service to others, confident in leadership, and grounded in integrity. Our mission is to inspire each child to discover and develop their unique God-given gifts while fostering a lifelong love of learning and preparing them to lead lives of faith, purpose, and service.

Our exceptional faculty and staff are dedicated to knowing each student as an individual and inspiring them to discover their God-given gifts, embrace new challenges, and pursue excellence in the classroom and beyond. Through a rich curriculum, meaningful faith formation, the arts, athletics, leadership opportunities, and service experiences, we prepare students not only for success in high school, but for lives of character, purpose, and service.

What truly distinguishes St. Raymond, however, is our community. Walk through our campus and you will find classrooms filled with curiosity, teachers who know and care deeply for their students, children who support and encourage one another, and families who generously share their time, talents, and faith.

Over the years, I have often joked that the unofficial motto of St. Raymond is, "Go big or go home." What I have always meant is that our community believes in showing up wholeheartedly. Whether we are celebrating a school tradition, cheering on our Cardinals, serving those in need, performing on stage, supporting one another through life's challenges, or pursuing excellence in the classroom, we give our very best—not for recognition, but because we care deeply about one another and about the mission we share.

That spirit beautifully reflects the words often attributed to St. Ignatius of Loyola: "Go forth and set the world on fire." My hope is that every St. Raymond student leaves our campus prepared to do just that—to use their God-given gifts to lead with courage, serve with compassion, and make a meaningful difference wherever life takes them.

I invite you to visit our campus, experience the warmth of our community, and see firsthand what makes St. Raymond such an extraordinary place to learn and grow. Whether you are considering joining our school or have been part of our community for many years, I look forward to partnering with you as we continue to educate, inspire, and form the next generation of Cardinals.

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in St. Raymond School. I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you personally to our campus.

With gratitude,
Mrs. Erin Glanville
Interim Principal
St. Raymond School
