🌟 Elective Highlight: Leader in Me 🌟
Leadership isn’t just a title — it’s a mindset, a habit, and a way of life.

In our Leader in Me elective, students go beyond the classroom to develop the skills that matter most:
✅ Self-awareness
✅ Responsibility
✅ Goal setting
✅ Teamwork
✅ Vision and purpose

Rooted in the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, this class helps students discover their strengths, confidently lead, and create meaningful impact at school and beyond. 💚— at school and beyond. 💚

Because at St. Patrick School, we’re not just teaching subjects. We’re inspiring future leaders. 👊🌍

💰 Elective Spotlight: Personal Finance 💼
At St. Patrick School, we believe that leadership starts with self-management — and that includes managing your money.

In our Personal Finance elective, students learn real-world skills like saving, budgeting, investing, and understanding credit — all through hands-on activities and real-life simulations.

📊 This course empowers our students to make informed financial decisions and take ownership of their future.

Because forming entrepreneurial leaders means preparing them not just for exams, but for life. 💡🌍

🎓 Personal Finance at SPS — a class that invests in what matters most: your future.
