About Us

Mission Statement

St. Helena’s School is a Catholic parish school within the Archdiocese of New York.  While we emphasize our Catholic faith and tradition, we welcome students of all faiths to join us as a community of learning and growth, following the wisdom of our founding pastor Monsignor Arthur J. Scanlan who said, “It’s fun to be good.”  We celebrate the diversity of our students from all ethnic backgrounds, but we emphasize our unity in helping our students to grow in faith, knowledge, and service of God and neighbor.
