Administration:
Education Team - The leadership of St. Ann's parish community has united all educational programs for greater collaboration, cooperation and communication. By working together and sharing common goals and problems, it is hoped that there will also be a better understanding of our mission, an appreciation of the individual difficulties and a respect for personal talents. The educational programs of the parish are coordinated by the Education Team.

The Principals of the School, Early Learning Center and Religious Education programs are responsible for the Children/Students, Faculty/Staff and Office personnel for their respective areas.
Education Council - The Education Council is an advisory body to the Pastor and the Education Team in achieving the goals of St. Ann's Church and Schools of providing quality Catholic education. They are made up of parents from the ELC, School and Religious Education programs.
The Council is responsible for the following:
a. become aware of the parish vision for education;
b. support and enhance the parish vision through a demonstrated commitment;

Teachers at St. Ann's are called to form a faith community where students can discover the Catholic attitude and values in the lives of those who teach them. The school selects teachers both for their effectiveness in teaching subject matter and for their ability to affect student growth. The members of the St. Ann's faculty are all graduates from accredited colleges or universities holding a minimum Bachelor of Arts degree on up to a Master's degree. Teachers are concerned with the Catholic philosophy of education, professional competency, student behavior and learning outcomes.
