October 3, 2025

Rooted in faith and committed to growth, we’ve taken time to reflect on how best to express the heart of our work. After thoughtful consideration, we have refined our Mission and Vision Statements—not to change who we are, but to more clearly define and communicate our purpose.

 

Our updated mission builds upon what has always guided us: “Building strong minds and faithful hearts through a Catholic education.”

 

Our renewed vision now states:

“Rooted in academic excellence and unwavering faith, our students emerge as leaders who courageously live and share the Gospel, fostering communities of respect and compassion while advancing Christ's mission.”

 

These statements reaffirm our identity and inspire our path forward as we continue forming students in both mind and spirit.
