St. Edward School, SES Pandas

Celebrating 101 years of quality Catholic education...

2020-2021 RETURN TO SCHOOL PLANS

Message from Dr. Stefanski for School Families

OUR MISSION

Mosaic Tiles Representing many different backgrounds, we live this Eucharistic theme of unity. Included in the unity is a recognition of diversity and ethnic values. Thus, the seed planted in 1917 by St. Katharine has grown today into a vibrant, caring, Christian community striving towards educational excellence.

OUR FAITH

St. Edward School has the privilege of having students during their most formative years, which is a tremendous responsibility; one that our faculty and staff take very seriously. We believe our primary reason for existing today is to instill in each child the Christian principles, attitudes and values which will result in a deep love of God, country and all peoples.

OUR HISTORY

In 1917, the prophetic vision and dynamic foresight of St. Katharine Drexel, foundress of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, permeated this location, the structures and the people of our area as the dream of St. Edward Parish and School began. St. Katharine had a firm conviction that all people of all races must be affirmed and utilized in the spread of God’s kingdom.

Principal, Karen Bonin and staff are to be commended for their outstanding leadership and education, as they instill good Catholic morals and standards in the children entrusted to them. St. Katharine Drexel must be very proud of you, the children and their parents who care enough to ensure that their children receive the best quality Catholic education.

St. Edward School teaches so much more than academics...they teach love, acceptance and kindness. I'm so thankful for the education my children received there many years ago!

Joleigh Hulin Parent
You feel the love once you step through the doors! Amazing school!

Kimberly Judice Parent
A loving community in which God is always present. I just wish this school went farther than 3rd grade.

Jessica Frederick Teacher/Parent
Go to Friday's Mass & you will feel the "magic"...

Thip Evans Parent
I absolutely love this little school! My grandson and my whole family are blessed to be a part of such a special place of learning and love.

You can feel the True Presence at SES and it's obvious to anyone living in the Light of Jesus.

Keith Landry Grandparent/Volunteer
Four of our children finished St. Edward school then went on to Catholic High. All of them have University degrees and have rewarding careers. They had a great education and both schools instilled Christian values which enables them to deal with life.

Linda Freyou Former Parent
I am a part of the panda family. I have taught there for the past 3 years and immediately knew that it was something special. Now that I have a child who is a panda it has reaffirmed just how special this school really is. I would recommend to anyone in the Acadiana area! It’s worth the drive. Come to a mass on Friday! You won’t be disappointed!

Annie Decuir Parent/Teacher
Outstanding teachers, staff, and administration teaching our sweet children about Christ

Brenda Comeaux Grandparent
After having 2 kids each spend 5 years at this school, I can honestly say not only do they receive top notch education, but the love and support they get from every single person there is something money can't buy. Your child is not a number, they are part of a family.

Brooke LeMaire Soileau Parent
As an alum of St. Edward School, with two children there now, this is hands down the best Catholic school education you can ask for in Acadiana. I have fond memories of my time there, and my children have had nothing but an exceptional experience. Highly recommend for everyone!

Elise Faucheaux Parent
It's a great feeling when you know your kids are in the right place! Our family is exactly where we are meant to be! We love St Edwards! Every worker treats us as family and its a great positive environment to be in daily! I know that they are getting both a solid education and growing in their faith! From the masses to the daily prayers, my boys know Jesus and know how to treat others! #happymama #sespandapride

Kallie Landry Parent
Both my children are St. Edward alumni. They've both graduated and still talk about how much they loved that school. It's a very loving and caring atmosphere.

Laurie Segura Parent
I cant recommend SES enough, it was a blessing to send my son there and the foundation that was built is life lasting! We love SES!
