One hundred years of St. James Catholic school has created generations of faith-based citizens and life-long learners who continue to share their education and love with the community and the nation. At St. James, the children come first and are encouraged to succeed in life, supported by dedicated teachers, strong academics, a sense of extended family and a focus on community responsibility.
