St. Michael’s Catholic School has served the community of Cuero and the surrounding area for over 144 years. St. Michael’s School has provided an excellent education in human knowledge and in divine truth. Our school has produced students who are academically prepared, develop into lifelong learners, grow to be faith-filled individuals, and become responsible citizens who serve their church, their community, and their nation.
St. Michael’s Catholic School is a unique school in the city of Cuero because it is the only school that offers a faith-based curriculum with a foundation of gospel values. St. Michael’s Catholic School educates children of all faith backgrounds and helps advance the whole human family. Our school helps students, parents, and faculty follow Jesus and put their faith into action. We teach our students faith, not just the basics of Christianity, but how to have a relationship with God. We hold them to high academic standards and do everything we can to help students reach their full potential. We also teach them how to serve, both as a way to express their faith and to become good citizens.
