Spalding Catholic School has a long tradition of Catholic education in Northwest Iowa, starting with the parish schools in the early 1900's. There is a saying in programs with a history and institutional strength: "We stand on the shoulders of giants." When we are incorporating our core values of Catholicism, accountability, service and excellence, we are not only continuing with behaviors and beliefs of those who came before us, but ensuring that those children in our schools will develop into adults who hold those values close to their hearts. Each year we pick a gospel value in collaboration with Gehlen, and this year our theme is "without Me, you can do nothing." We are indeed many different students, teachers, parents, supporters, graduates (like me) and believers. Yet we are one Spalding Catholic community that stands strong and proud of our mission to provide excellent Catholic education. Thank you for joining us on our website as you learn more about us.
