Mission Statement
Bishop James Mahoney High School is a
Catholic high school. As a Catholic high school our mission is
to assist parents in the development of the adolescent in
spiritual, intellectual, physical and social growth. Our goal is
to create and sustain a school community enlivened by the
Gospel. We believe in the importance of providing students the
opportunity for personal growth to be matched by growth in the
acceptance of their baptism. Our desire is to relate all of
creation to the good news of salvation so that the knowledge
students gradually acquire of the world, life and persons is
illuminated by our Catholic Faith.
As a Catholic high school we believe that education aims to
develop the total person. Education must be concerned with the
good of society and be based on the Gospel values of justice,
freedom and charity. To enable students to fulfill their
potential, we are committed to offering a full range of
academic, extracurricular and intramural programs. As a
designated French bilingual high school, we are also committed
to providing students with the opportunity of becoming fluent in
both official language.
