Welcome From the Principle
Welcome from the Principal Dear Students, Families, and Visitors:
Thank you for visiting our school’s website. On behalf of the faculty and staff of Saint Matthew School, we would like to thank you, the community, for keeping Catholic education at the forefront. Saint Matthew School is proud of the heritage and family atmosphere that has prevailed over the past 50 years. We are an open school to children of grades Pre-K through 8th and welcome students of all faiths and religion. We are a Christ-centered school seeking the best in each individual. The school has maintained high academic standards for many years. As a matter of fact, the Indiana Department of Education continues to rate Saint Matthew School as an Exemplary School among all public and private schools in Indiana. Saint Matthew School achieves at or above the 95th percentile of all schools in state testing - an achievement we continue to strive for yearly. As a certified Indiana Department of Education and North Central Association accredited school, the school falls under the regulations of Indiana Public Law 221 that requires school to continually improve in academic ISTEP+ scoring. Ninety-five percent of our students exceed Indiana standard norms. Additionally, the standards met by Public Law 221 comply with the federally mandated “No Child Left Behind” act. The success of our students’ achievement is reflective upon our outstanding staff, motivated students, and our dedicated families. Thanks to all of our community as you have shown support to our parish school. Yours in Christ, David Smock, Principal |
