Who We Are

The following qualities are the ideals that we encourage our students to develop during the six years of their journey shared with us here at Seton Catholic High School. Each student has been provided with and, hopefully, generously responded to, the challenge to become a young man or woman who is:

Open to Growth: The Seton Catholic High School student at the time of graduation has matured as a person – emotionally, intellectually, physically, socially, religiously – and assumes responsibility for his or her personal growth. The graduate is reaching out in his or her development, seeking opportunities to stretch his or her mind, imagination, feelings, and religious consciousness.

Intellectually Competent: The Seton Catholic High School graduate is keenly aware that learning is a lifelong enterprise, and is ready to make a successful transition to college, vocational school, or work experience. The graduate utilizes his or her critical thinking, problem-solving, and technological skills. The graduate exhibits an appropriate mastery of the fundamental tools of learning and is honing emerging intellectual skills for more advanced levels of learning.

Religious: The Seton Catholic High School graduate has developed an awe and reverence for God. The graduate is very adept at reading and reflecting on the Word of God as found in the Bible.

Loving: The Seton Catholic High School graduate has established his or her own identity.
