St. Gabriel School is a Lasallian School sponsored by the DeLaSalle Christian Brothers and assisted by a lay board. This board will advise the Brothers in the areas of finance, development, faith formation, marketing and education.

St. Gabriel School Excels in creating a Christian centered environment, encouraging the students to actively participate in their education. The students are encouraged to engage in various types of worship and praise; such as, liturgical services, Christian music and ethnic dances.

We provide opportunities for students to receive one-on-one remediation in math and language through Title 1 services. Students are challenged to read and encouraged to develop their writing by journal entries.

The sense of community is the main area in which we excel. The respect and admiration that everyone has for each other is evident throughout the school. The activities that the school community runs; such as CYO sports, family mass, family dinner, parent meetings, and back to school night give people the opportunity to experience the real sense of community at St. Gabriel's .
