Welcome to St. Gertrude the Great Catholic School!
It is with great joy and gratitude that I welcome you to St. Gertrude the Great Catholic School. As principal, I am honored to serve a community that has faithfully educated and formed young people for generations. Since 1950, St. Gertrude the Great has provided students in Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade with a strong foundation rooted in faith, academic excellence, and service to others.
At the heart of our school is our Catholic identity. We believe that every child is a gift from God, created with unique talents and abilities that are meant to be nurtured and developed. Through daily prayer, religious instruction, participation in the sacraments, weekly Mass, and service opportunities, we strive to help our students grow in their relationship with Christ and live out the values of the Gospel in their everyday lives.
Our dedicated faculty is committed to providing a rigorous and engaging academic program that challenges students to think critically, communicate effectively, and become lifelong learners. We seek to educate the whole child by fostering intellectual growth, strong character, and spiritual development. At the same time, we provide meaningful opportunities for students to explore, create, and develop the skills needed to succeed in an ever-changing world.
What makes St. Gertrude truly special is our strong sense of family and community. We believe that a partnership among school, parish, and home is essential to the success of every child. Together, we create an environment where students feel known, valued, and supported as they grow into faithful disciples, compassionate leaders, and responsible citizens.
I am excited for the future of St. Gertrude the Great and grateful for the opportunity to serve this wonderful community. I invite you to visit our campus, meet our students and staff, and experience firsthand the faith, excellence, and spirit that make our school such a special place. We invite prospective families to contact our office, schedule a campus tour, and discover the difference a Catholic education at St. Gertrude the Great can make in the life of a child.
May God continue to bless you and your family.
In Christ,
Mr. Sergio Ordaz, M. Ed
Principal
