Springfield Catholic High School vs. Greenwood Laboratory School

The mission of Springfield Catholic Schools is to prepare students, with God's help, to spread the Kingdom of God and to contribute to the world as responsible Christian citizens by providing a caring family environment where the Catholic Faith is taught and modeled in an atmosphere of academic excellence.

Our school provides a disciplined environment in which all students are active participants in the learning process that encourages academic excellence.

Setting goals and solving problems together provide opportunities for each student to develop into responsible and productive citizens in accordance with individual needs, interests, and abilities.

Our graduates will be prepared to accept responsibility and to perform service in a changing global society. We are a community of believing young people and adults together pursuing, within the Catholic tradition of faith, academic excellence in an environment where Christianity is taught, experienced and practiced.

Consistent with the National Association of Laboratory Schools' description of laboratory schools, Greenwood Laboratory School provides the opportunity for Missouri State University students and faculty to engage in clinical field experiences, experimentation, innovation, research, information-sharing and staff development. Through these activities, Greenwood Laboratory School functions within the College of Education to create "a legacy of learning." In addition, the mission of the Greenwood Laboratory School is consistent with the mission of Missouri State University public affairs mission in that the school produces educated persons at the kindergarten through twelfth grade levels who are competent, confident, creative, caring and life-time learners.
