Orders take approximately 10 days to process, so start planning now.

Principal's Message
  
        The goal of St. Catherine of Sienna School is dedicated to building a value-centered learning community, firmly steeped in our Roman Catholic tradition of prayer and service.  At St. Catherine of Sienna, we hope to enhance the natural curiosity and love of learning in every student.  We foster the development of problem-solving abilities and promote creative and critical thinking in an enjoyable learning environment.  St. Catherine of Sienna students learn by exploring, inquiring, and seeing issues from multiple points of view.  The curriculum is reinforced through interdisciplinary studies that are aligned to the New York State Standards.  We welcome you to the St. Catherine of Sienna Family.    
- Ms. Cecelia Rando
