Catholic Identity
"Catholic schools strive to help students become fully human--mind, heart, imagination, and soul--in an environment where students feel safe to discover their unique identity and gifts and where all human life and differences are valued."
--Dr. Timothy Cook

  

WE BELIEVE…

...that the Catholic identity of our schools is richly expressed through the living example and actions of the members of the school community.  Prayer, the sacramental life of the community, the celebration of our Catholic traditions, and the symbols of our faith are central to the mission of Catholic school education.  The integration of moral teachings throughout the Catholic school curriculum and the commitment to living those teachings through social action are fundamental.  Our schools are staffed by faculty members who give witness to their faith and call their students to do the same.  In this tradition, Catholic schools embody the teachings of Jesus Christ and the mission of the Church.  Our schools are open to people of all faiths, cultures and socioeconomic levels.  The schools strive to form a bond with the parishes and communities that they serve.
