Mission
Santa Elena Primary School, a catholic public school is one of the firm belief that we are created equal, and as such is committed to the holistic development of the individual students, parents, and teachers regardless of color, creed, race and social status, physical or mental capabilities.
History
In the 1920s the town of Santa Elena was very small and the only form of Primary Education facilities offered was in San Ignacio. Eventually, there arose the need to facilitate a small number of school-age children in Santa Elena. Two teacher leaders, pioneered the effort and started the Santa Elena Primary Roman Catholic School. The location was where the St. Ignatius School is presently located, right above the banks of the Macal River.
