Faith is the fundamental foundation that enables a Christ-centered approach to all aspects of the educational experience, emphasizing the beliefs and traditions of the Catholic faith.

Faith is achieved by providing opportunities for staff and students to model Christ-like behavior, and to learn and grow in an atmosphere that embraces our vision of Making God Smile.

Faith is measured by sincere participation in and contribution to community service, Mass, Mass ministries, retreats, and other daily opportunities to model Christ, and is readily apparent in our school culture of unity and acceptance.

Family Spirit

Family Spirit is achieved by modeling the Gospel of Jesus through consistent love and support for one another in and out of the classroom, creating a safe, respectful and disciplined environment anchored in core values.

Family Spirit is measured by an unfaltering knowledge and awareness of school culture by staff, students, parents, alumni and all stakeholders, to ensure an ever-present atmosphere of respect, unity and acceptance.
