• Hope: Relying on God’s goodness, we inspire a vision of a better life.
• Service: Embracing the spirit of Jesus, we reach beyond ourselves in love in response to the needs of others.

We Believe:

A Catholic school is a Christian community, grounded in the Catholic faith and Christ's mandate to proclaim the Gospel.

• A Christian community is a group of people of diverse backgrounds joined in purpose, hope, and love and who seek to share with others their experiences and lives.
• The family is the primary teacher and an essential partner in student formation.
• All students can learn. Educators provide the appropriate instructional activities, a nurturing environment, and a comprehensive curriculum so that all students learn.
• Education is a process of holistic development, strengthening and enriching each person’s unique gifts and talents to grow spiritually, develop academically and physically, and mature personally.
• Education in a diverse community offers unique opportunities. It inspires justice, compassion, respect for the dignity of others, and an appreciation for and celebration of differences.
• All people are called to the service of others for their own good and in response to Christ’s call to “love one another as I have loved you.”
