St Agatha Catholic School 7960 Southeast 15th Avenue, Portland, OR 97202

"St. Agatha has been (and continues to be) such a blessing to our family. We transferred from another Catholic elementary school and are so grateful to have found St. Agatha - there is nothing quite like it. The teachers and administration are caring, involved, dedicated, engaged, supportive, and committed. The community is absolutely incredible - the parents are a vital part of the school and it makes such a difference. Mrs. Casey, the principal, cares about the faculty and the families. She knows every single child's name and her presence is exactly what one would hope for to guide their child's school. Our elementary school boys love their school and community. It sincerely is like one big family. I could go on endlessly about how grateful we are for St. Agatha and how blessed we feel to be apart of this community."

"St. Agatha is a wonderful community. Our elementary school boys love this school, and all of the teachers are incredibly caring and supportive. The parent group (PiPs) is strong and the Principal is involved. It's like one big family. I have never seen a school that had such a community spirit as St. Agatha!"

"Saint Agatha is an exceptional school with teachers that truly care for the children academically, socially and spiritually. We are thankful for the in-person instruction and the care the staff has taken to make this so. I have two children enrolled in Saint Agatha that have been there since Pre-School and a third to start shortly. My sister-in-law has two kids also enrolled. Saint Agatha is a blessing, and we are so grateful our kids are there!"

"Have had a child here since 1998 and the last one graduates this year! Education is more than academics and Life is more than a collection of experiences. St. Agatha provides opportunities for service (Children's Hospital, Food Bank), mentoring (older kids to younger kids in Reading Buddies and Mass Families) and Faith Formation. This school educates the whole child. Is it perfect? Of course not! We are all on the road to creating a better World and St. Agatha is one of those great stops along the way. :)"

"During this time of school closures , quarantine and social-distancing, I feel it is necessary now more than ever that I share this testimonial. The faculty and staff at St. Agatha have continued their great work online. My three kids are in daily communication with their teachers and are continuing to learn and thrive. I am amazed at how the school did it! There are daily zoom calls and check-ins. My wife and I ( we are also working from home) help the kids when needed. My neighbor's kids go to public school (until the closures) and their school is promising some "online" system in the future. I feel very grateful to Mr. Harris and the staff."
