CELEBRATING CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK AT ST. ANNE SCHOOL: “Faith. Excellence. Service.”
Catholic Schools Week 2022 is just around the corner! Observed annually since 1974, Catholic Schools Week is a chance for the community to learn about — and celebrate — the values and blessings of Catholic education.
This year’s theme for Catholic School’s Week is “Faith. Excellence. Service.” And here at St. Anne School, Principal Shaileen Riginos highlights examples of all three.

A K-12 school, St. Anne strives to educate the whole person and provides high-quality values-based education for their students.
“Our students continue the vision of St. Philip Neri as well-educated and faithful disciples of Jesus, and faith plays a vital role in decision making in their daily lives,” Mrs. Riginos says. “They continue the great commission, which Jesus gave the Apostles — to go into the world proclaiming to all the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our faculty combines knowledge and virtue and are dedicated to the moral, spiritual and academic growth of each individual student.”
How is St. Anne School different from other area schools, public and private?
“Our intimate environment and low student-teacher ratio places emphasis on the individual learner,” Mrs. Riginos says. “Differentiated instruction gives every student the opportunity to succeed. This results in higher academic achievement, a positive attitude towards school, and a solid sense of self-identity.”
An education at St. Anne School is a high-quality education. Ranked as the number-one K-12 Private School in York County, St. Anne School provides a rigorous curriculum and promotes intellect, faith, and integrity among all community members. Graduates from St. Anne School have been accepted into over 250 unique colleges and universities.
“Each students’ unique strengths and abilities are the driving force in connecting them with post-secondary opportunities that pair with their aspirations and goals,” Mrs. Riginos says. “Whether they intend on enrolling in a four-year college or university, community college, transfer program, military enlistment, or entering the workforce upon graduating from St. Anne, every student has the opportunity to further expand upon their interests and strengths in their time at St. Anne, in preparation for their life after graduation.”
During Catholic Schools Week, we are blessed to celebrate the quality of education at St. Anne School. Throughout the week, you will see students attending weekend Masses in school uniform to help spread the news about our great school. Students are also able to participate in various service projects including writing letters to our troops, collecting supplies for the Children’s Attention Home, and cooperative learning projects with upper and lower grades working together to foster learning. Students are also able to experience vocation talks with our own Sister Agnes and Fr. Louis.
“It all comes down to relationships,” Mrs. Riginos says. “That’s why I send my kids here. If I don’t believe in it, how can I tell others to send their kids here?”
