We are Good Shepherd Catholic School, a ministry of Good Shepherd Catholic Church.
It is our mission to put Christ at the Heart of It All.
We consider it a privilege and a duty to work together with families to encourage the development of the whole child spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically by offering a Catholic-based education for Catholics and non-Catholic students.
Good Shepherd Catholic School is a ministry of Good Shepherd Roman Catholic Parish in Frankfort, KY and of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington (previously of Covington) since 1917 and had its foundation in other Catholic schools in Frankfort since 1860. The parish supports the school in many ways, particularly through its financial contribution and the election of an advisory school council.
Originally located on Wapping St. in downtown Frankfort, Good Shepherd School served students in grades 1-12. Now, GSCS offers a Christ-centered education for children, both Catholic and non-Catholic, in Pre-K through 8 on our campus at Shepherd Way. We are proud that our student body is very diverse.
We offer an enriched curriculum including classes in the areas of music, physical education, art, and Spanish. Our students also have access to our library and GSS has a 1:1 Chromebook program.
Good Shepherd offers Aftercare and Summer Camp daycare services as well as a wide variety of extra-curricular activities such as academic teams, clubs, and sports. We believe that the variety of choices as well as the high quality of our special programs and high level of student participation makes this one of our best attributes.
The faculty and staff of Good Shepherd are faithful, caring, committed, qualified individuals. The staff works hard to maintain the campus and provide a student-friendly cafeteria, comprehensive library collection, and up-to-date accessible technology.
Service has always been a hallmark of the Catholic church and Good Shepherd School follows in that tradition by using service projects to make classroom learning concrete and relevant to students’ lives. The school, and the PTO in particular, provide many opportunities for staff and families to come together for learning, fellowship, and outreach. The sense of community is strong at GSS and is one of our greatest strengths.
Good Shepherd School begins each day with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and our Irish creed to put Christ at the heart of it all with integrity, respect, independence, service, and honor. Our students attend Mass once a week and our Catholic students receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation regularly.
