HISTORY AND MISSION
History
Since the 1950s, Lower Bucks County has a rich history of providing a high-quality, faith-based education to the large Catholic population of the community. Over the past several years, however, Catholic schools in our area and nationwide have experienced declining enrollments, and parishes have found it increasingly difficult to sustain a school financially. Recognizing this concern, the Pastors of Immaculate Conception (Levittown), Queen of the Universe (Levittown), St. Frances Cabrini (Fairless Hills), and St. Joseph the Worker (Fallsington) parishes began meeting in 2008 to discuss working together to combine the four schools and form a regional school.
On September 8, 2010, under the guidance of our Pastors, and with the support of countless volunteers who worked tirelessly throughout the transition period, Holy Family Regional Catholic School opened its doors for the first time to 534 students! Building on the foundation of the four parish "legacy schools," wherein more than 12,000 other young men and women received their elementary Catholic school education, Holy Family is carrying on a rich shared tradition of instilling Catholic values, while providing an excellent academic experience for the children of Lower Bucks County.
Mission
Like our school itself, the Mission Statement of Holy Family Regional Catholic School was developed through the efforts of our entire community-Pastors, faculty and administration, parents, students, alumni, and volunteers. Please join with us as we celebrate our mission to provide an excellent Catholic education of the young people of our parish families!
Founded by four Parish Communities united by our Catholic faith and a commitment to excellence in Catholic education, Holy Family Regional Catholic School is a Christ-centered elementary school dedicated to inspiring students' faith, challenging students academically, and nurturing every student's individual growth and development, all done within a supportive, family-like environment that promotes traditional Roman Catholic values.
With a well-rounded, 21st-century curriculum and high standards of achievement, the caring faculty of Holy Family prepares students to be intellectually curious, lifelong learners, and confident and compassionate future leaders. Holy Family students know and love their Catholic faith, respect themselves and others, and seek to use their unique, God-given gifts to serve their community.
Embodying the spirit of cooperation from which it was created, Holy Family Regional Catholic School stands as a beacon of hope for the future of Catholic education!
