Catholic schools are advantageous to our community because of the high academic and moral standards that contribute to a 99 percent graduation rate. Catholic schools strive to prepare our graduates with the best tools possible so they are able to be productive, wholesome citizens, and competent professionals.
Our schools serve as communities of faith and service, fully developing each student as a child of God through the four pillars of a Catholic education:
Faith: Catholic Schools are integrators of faith, life and culture. Our Students explore their faith through activities in scripture, sacraments, church and morality. Catholic schools promote the significance of each individual while encouraging mutual respect through our faith and traditions.
Academics: Catholic schools are well-known for their excellence. Their curriculum surpasses both Diocese and State standards. Our students score significantly above the national averages on standardized testing. Faculty members are all credentialed and highly qualified professionals who are committed to bringing out the best in every student as they grow in knowledge, skills, and values.
Discipline: Catholic schools teach their students how to develop self-discipline with a Christian focus. Our students are expected to accept responsibility for their actions, to respect others and to make good decisions. Our teachers have high expectations for every student to achieve and over time the children internalize this value which enhances their self-esteem. The rules established in Catholic schools help foster the significance of personal responsibility.
Leadership: Catholic schools motivate the understanding that each person is unique and valuable. We encourage our students to excel, and also to use their gifts and talents in service to others. Our goal is to aid students into recognizing the presence of Christ within themselves and in others and to help them mature into Christ-like individuals.
Catholic schools strive to create a special community among students, faculty, families, clergy, and administrators which generates an atmosphere of care and concern. We also join with families to help our students understand their special place in the church and society.
