My name is Rich Nambu, and I am your new principal. I have been in education for over 35 years, as a teacher, coach, district administrator, and principal.

A safe and stimulating environment enables each child to discover and develop his or her unique gifts and talents. Our goal is to inspire life-long learners to become mindful, global citizens that incorporate community service as an integral component of our holistic approach. We stress the total development of each child: Spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional and physical.

The pupil enrollment totaled 89. The school consisted of four classrooms. Grades 1 and 2 and 5 and 6 were combined classes! By 1962, four additional classrooms were added and the teaching staff swelled to eight sisters. In 1963, a convent was added to house these sisters. Prior to this, devoted parishioners opened their homes and drove the sisters to school each morning and brought them home at the end of the day.
