Mission Statement
St. Kieran School, dedicated to quality Catholic education, serves the diverse community of Chicago Heights. St. Kieran School is a vital part of the St. Kieran parish family. St. Kieran School believes that Catholic life and values, as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ through his Church, must be practiced by our entire school community. Catholic values and moral principles are incorporated into every aspect of our curriculum, so that through their academic work, and by their participation in community service projects, school liturgies and athletic competitions, our students’ lives will be the best examples of our Catholic philosophy.
