Our Mission
Cedar Creek School seeks to provide a superi-
or college preparatory educational experience
to students in North Central Louisiana based
on the highest standards of academic excel-
lence and personal conduct.

Our Vision
Cedar Creek School supports its mission by
maintaining high expectations for student
achievement and by focusing on and improv-
ing student learning through school wide
goals, a rigorous curriculum, and diversified
instructional strategies.

Our Statement of Intent
As did the founding fathers of this country, the
incorporators of Cedar Creek School did so
with a firm reliance on the protection of divine
Providence. Specifically, they believed then,
and now, that the most important lesson ever
to be taught is the reliance and belief in the
teaching of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
