With an elevation of 7,200 feet, the community motto is "Celebrate the Seasons." Temperatures range from the 90's during the summer to the teens during the winter. The winter snowfall and cool summer rains attract visitors from the hotter desert parts of the state. There are many opportunities for outdoor activities such as snow skiing, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and photography. A winter sports complex, Sunrise Ski Resort, located 30 miles east of Pinetop-Lakeside on the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation, attracts skiers from around the southwest as well as internationally with its well developed slopes and facilities.

The Pinetop-Lakeside community is truly an outstanding place to work, live and raise a family.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to educate each child academically, physically, socially, and spiritually in a Catholic context.  We seek to instill moral integrity within each child.  Working together as a cooperative community, each child will be prepared for secondary and higher education via an environment that fosters love and respect for God and others.

Our Vision

To create an independent PK-8th grade Catholic school that emphasizes excellence.  Currently PK-4th grade, we are committed to adding a grade level per year, with 5th grade targeted for 20010-2011.

To focus on teaching strong fundamental skills.

To establish a core curriculum which also teaches children how to learn.

To provide a safe learning environment that will nurture the holistic growth of all students via a Catholic-values oriented setting.

To develop students so that they will go naturally into the service of helping others.

To work as a community in our shared objective to provide a Christ-centered education for our students such that they may develop their individual relationships with God while growing toward their fullest, God-given potential.
