The mission of Central Catholic High School is based on the principle of Christian Education, which seeks to form Christian character so that the student will think and act in accordance with the teachings of Christ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Since every Christian has become a new creature by rebirth from water and the Holy Spirit, so that he may be called what he truly is, a child of God, he is entitled to a Christian education…. Its principal aims are these: that as the baptized person is gradually introduced into a knowledge of the mystery of salvation, he may daily grow more conscious of the gift of faith which he has received; that he may be trained to conduct his personal life in righteousness and in the sanctity of truth… thus, indeed, he may grow into manhood according to the mature measure of Christ and devote himself to the upbuilding of the Mystical Body. Moreover, aware of his calling, he should grow accustomed to giving witness to the hope that is in him and to promoting that Christian transformation of the world by which natural values, viewed in the full perspective of humanity as redeemed by Christ, may contribute to the good of society as a whole."
(Vatican II, Declaration of Christian Education)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keenly aware that education should draw forth those inherent qualities in the student which better him or her morally, socially and intellectually, the faculty and administration recognize their responsibility to present the truths which can best fulfill this purpose. The integral development of the student takes place only in a Christian environment. This development is governed by a genuine respect for the dignity of all persons affiliated with the school - students and staff members alike.
