teach the Catholic faith; we encourage the
pursuit of academic excellence; we nurture a commitment to integral growth by
focusing on Christian values and the intellectual, creative, social, and physical development of
those we serve. We spur those whom we serve to challenge prejudice as well as unjust networks
of power and privilege.
