Our Mission
Conn-Area Catholic School instills and encourages a deep relationship with the Lord, and a commitment to our baptismal responsibility of service to others. We believe each child is created with unique talents and intellect that will fulfill God’s plan for that child. Our curriculum includes a full spectrum of academics, fine arts, athletics, technology, and enrichment opportunities that promotes the development of life-long learning skills. Therefore, it is our vision that Conn-Area Catholic School can develop these God-given gifts in order that each child realizes his or her full potential.
Our Vision
In 1911, Immaculate Conception School opened its doors on Prospect Street in Connellsville to serve grades one through twelve. The Diocese of Greensburg formed a regional Catholic school in 1967, creating Conn-Area Catholic, to serve students in first through eighth grade. The merger combined St. Rita of Cascia, St. John the Evangelist and Immaculate Conception schools, all in Connellsville, as well as St. Aloysius School in Dunbar.

Conn-Area Catholic Students – Called to Serve
CONNELLSVILLE – Conn-Area Catholic School students know what it means to lead: Every student, whether in preschool or sixth grade, has a job. They apply for and interview for their job, and then receive a schedule to follow. They are learning leadership qualities through service to others – the way Jesus demonstrated His leadership.
The school mission is “… to develop these God-given gifts in order that each child realizes his or her full potential, enabling them to serve our Lord through HIS intended purpose.”
Third-grader Logan Collins gives up his recess time on occasion to bag leaves at the school entrance. First-grader Jameson Pounds organizes the bookshelf in his classroom. Fifth-grader Gianna Herman raises the flag each morning. Third-grader Cecilia Lukowsky packs up items for the school’s food drives.
First-grader Avalee Richter says her job is important “because when you leave the room, you need to turn out the lights.”
Children carefully select the jobs they feel called to do. Remembering to do their jobs is their responsibility. It gives them a sense of self-worth and commits them to their school in ways that are meaningful to the whole community.
As part of the school’s initiative to create leaders who serve, the entire student body gathers every morning in the hallway for prayers. Afterward, students are recognized for their accomplishments either in their school leadership jobs or outside achievements, such as Scout badges, karate belts or ministries in their parishes.
Students are also taught Stephen Covey’s eight habits: Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand and Then to be Understood, Synergize, Sharpen the Saw, Find Your Voice and Inspire Others to Find Theirs. These habits are taught in conjunction with the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirt.
Jesus calls us to serve. As baptized Christians, we have a responsibility to be disciples of our Lord, through leadership centered in Christ. Conn-Area Catholic School students are up for the challenge and are happy to answer His call.
