At James L. Collins Catholic School, weekly Mass is more than a tradition; it's an important part of our mission to nurture both the minds and hearts of our students. Together, we grow in faith, strengthen our relationship with God, and carry His love into our classrooms and community.
At James L. Collins Catholic School, learning goes beyond the classroom! Our students love exploring, creating, and solving real-world challenges in our STEM SmartLab. From coding and robotics to engineering and digital design, SmartLab inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and equips students with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they'll use for years to come.
It's hands-on learning at its best—and one of our students' favorite places to discover, innovate, and grow!

Our 5th and 8th grade students attend Camp of the Pines annually. They returned with wonderful memories, stronger friendships, and experiences that extended far beyond the classroom.
Throughout their time at camp, students participated in hands-on learning, outdoor adventures, and team-building activities that encouraged confidence, leadership, communication, and problem-solving. They embraced new challenges, worked together, and gained a deeper appreciation for God's amazing creation. These experiences help build resilience, independence, and lifelong skills while creating memories they will cherish for years to come.
We are grateful for the opportunity our students have to learn, grow, and experience God's beauty in such a meaningful way. Thank you to our teachers, chaperones, and everyone who helped make this special trip possible!

Our kindergarten students learned about the life cycle of plants while discovering the beauty of God's creation! As part of their lesson, they planted bean seeds and were excited to watch them grow from tiny seeds into thriving plants.
Hands-on learning helps our students see firsthand the wonder of how God created all living things with purpose and care. We could not wait to see their beans grow and watch as they continued to learn about the amazing world God has given us!

Our students read an incredible 26,228,000+ words through the Accelerated Reader program last school year! What an amazing accomplishment and a true reflection of their hard work, dedication, and love of learning.
The Accelerated Reader (AR) program encourages students to grow as readers by allowing them to choose books at their reading level, take comprehension quizzes, and track their progress throughout the year. AR helps build reading confidence, strengthen comprehension skills, and foster a lifelong love of reading.
Every page turned, every chapter completed, and every quiz passed added up to this incredible milestone. We are so proud of our students and grateful for the support of our teachers and families who help inspire a passion for reading every day.

Using creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, and engineering skills in our STEM Lab, these students have taken on an exciting challenge: building a Ferris wheel! Through hands-on learning, they are applying real-world STEM concepts while discovering that innovation happens when you aren’t afraid to dream big. One of their goals is to find the perfect spot on campus for their Ferris wheel by the end of their 8th grade year. We can’t wait to watch this project grow and see where their imagination and determination take them! We are so grateful to have a STEM Lab on campus, giving our students opportunities to explore, create, experiment, and develop the critical thinking skills that will serve them well into the future. Way to go, girls! We are excited to follow your journey!
One of the greatest blessings of a James L. Collins Catholic School education is the lifelong friendships that are formed along the way. From Pre-K through 8th grade, our students learn, pray, serve, and grow together, creating bonds rooted in faith, kindness, and shared experiences.
These friendships extend far beyond the classroom walls, becoming a source of encouragement and support throughout life's journey. We are grateful for a school community where students not only gain knowledge but also build meaningful relationships that last a lifetime.
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." — Proverbs 27:17
May God continue to bless the friendships formed at JLCCS and guide our students as they grow together in faith, wisdom, and love.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported our Garden Club's End-of-Year Plant Sale. Your generosity and encouragement helped make the event a wonderful success!
Thanks to the proceeds from the sale, we will be purchasing new raised garden beds to enhance our outdoor learning spaces and provide even more opportunities for students to explore gardening, science, and stewardship of God's creation.
We are also excited to share that James L. Collins Catholic School will be purchasing a greenhouse through the Burns & McDonnell STEM Grant for the school. This greenhouse would provide hands-on learning experiences for our students while supporting STEM education and environmental stewardship on our campus.
If you are a community member with experience, resources, or an interest in helping with our greenhouse or raised bed projects, we would love to hear from you! Please contact our Principal, Mrs. Whiteside, at the school to learn how you can get involved.
