Another year of growth for St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School

By: Mrs. Nicole Pickett, Principal at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton School

As we prepare for another exciting year at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School, we are proud to reflect on the incredible growth and achievements of the past year. With the support of our families, parish, and community, SEAS experienced an 8% increase in enrollment, raised teacher salaries to within 97% of local public-school levels, and made significant investments in our campus and classrooms. These improvements included the installation of a beautiful new playground structure with full shade coverage, the addition of an industrial sink in our art room, and new desks for every classroom. 

In the spirit of stewardship and generosity, we were grateful to share our previously used desks with St. Charles in San Carlos, St. Rose of Lima in Safford, St. Ambrose in Tucson, and local public school teachers in need of classroom furniture. 

We further expanded support for our students by hiring a school counselor and proudly inducting our first chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. Our students also achieved outstanding academic success, earning top-three finishes in both robotics and cybersecurity at the International Christian STEM Competition.

Building on this momentum, we remain committed to continued growth and excellence. In the coming year, we will invest further in our students and programs by enhancing our art and music spaces to better support creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning. It's a great day to be a Knight!
