Paul VI, a diocesan high school inspired by the
Catholic ideal, is committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to the
spiritual, intellectual, physical and social development of its
students. As a Catholic school, we have the responsibility to prepare
our students for the contemporary world guided by the light of faith.
We offer students the opportunity to learn, live and worship as active
members of a Catholic community.

The faculty of Paul VI, as part of this Catholic community is expected
to teach within the framework of the Catholic faith, especially guided
by the Catechism of the Catholic Church. They are to express an
integrated approach to learning and living in both their personal and
professional lives. This integrated approach to learning and living
manifests itself in an atmosphere of respect, discipline, genuine
concern, mutual trust and understanding. Within this framework, both
students and faculty are able to share creativity, search for meaning
and more fully comprehend the values of life revealed by our Savior,
Jesus Christ.
The total
development of the individual occurs only in an environment of freedom
and challenge concomitant with personal responsibility. It is
essential, therefore, that during the formative years the school
gradually develop personal responsibility in a student by gradually
increasing the student's freedom. It is only through this responsible
freedom that the school can expect a Catholic influence to permeate
the student body.
The contemporary world increasingly
distances itself from faith and the values that God has revealed to
us. Paul VI High School is a place where faith, obedience to God's
eternal laws, academic excellence, physical soundness, social concern,
discipline that fosters freedom with responsibility, and respect for
life, points administration, faculty and students toward the same
goal: the pursuit of truth and excellence. Paul VI High School calls
students to open their minds and hearts to this truth, be enlightened
and transformed by it, and then go into the world and proclaim it by
their words and deeds. |
