Overview
St. Vincent de Paul High School is a co-educational, parochial high school which serves a population of 400 students.
St. Vincent de Paul High School is primarily a college preparatory school.
The mission of St. Vincent de Paul High School is to educate students through a college preparatory curriculum that develops their spiritual, academic, and social potential.
As a Catholic school, we teach Gospel values and ideals and provide opportunities for our students to experience and grow in their faith.
Our goal is for students to become compassionate, responsible and active members of their communities.
If it is to be an authentic response to the totality of the human person, education must go beyond intellectual training, though that is, of course, an essential part.
St. Vincent de Paul High School, therefore, strives to provide a program sufficiently varied to assist in the spiritual, emotional, aesthetic, physical, and social development of its students.
Cardinal Newman is a Catholic, college preparatory high school for young men and women.
Our mission is to educate our students in the wholeness of mind, body, and spirit through the teachings of Jesus Christ; applying their leadership skills and talents in service to others.
We challenge each student to work to his highest potential in the lifelong pursuit of faith, learning and service. The Cardinal Newman High School community has committed itself to the principles of Christian education and the pursuit of educational excellence.
In placing strong emphasis on the teachings of Christ, the faculty, staff, students and parents strive to work together, in respect and concern, to establish a living Christian community.
Cardinal Newman High School recognizes that the primary responsibility for the spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical and social development of the student belongs to the family; the school serves to facilitate and supplement the family in this vital task of the student's development.
