Faith
Our Values Mission Statement <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Loughlin</strong> Memorial High School is a Catholic, Diocesan, college preparatory high school that draws its Christian perspective from the faith tradition of the Roman Catholic Church and the Lasallian tradition of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. <strong>Loughlin</strong> fosters academic success, builds character, develops future leaders, and nurtures a vibrant personal relationship with God. <strong>Loughlin</strong> stimulates and supports a student’s quest for intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and civic development. Students are challenged to achieve their full potential, to strive for excellence and to further their education at colleges and universities. <strong>Loughlin</strong> students, faculty and staff are committed to an inclusive community that respects diversity in its many forms and values excellence in scholarship. Lasallian Education A Lasallian education is based on the teachings and vision of St. John Baptist de La Salle. For De La Salle, education meant development of the total person. A school can be said to be Lasallian: • when there is a profound respect for each student as a unique person, • when there is a spirit of community, • when the school offers quality education, • when it really merits the adjective Christian, • when it manifests solidarity with the poor and promotes the quest for justice and peace, • when its administrators and teachers have made their own the characteristics of Lasallian education, • when the school community is formed in reference to the story of John Baptist de La Salle. In a Lasallian school, the Christian dimension permeates and shapes every aspect of school life: tone, atmosphere, spirit, signs, symbols, relationships, curriculum, requirements, policies, and regulations. Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve: is the motto for a Lasallian education. A Lasallian Education proposes – but in no way imposes – Jesus Christ. At a Lasallian school, all students are treated with respect and care, whatever their religious beliefs. “ Brother Dennis, President Our goal is to offer a human and Christian education to young people which prepares them to be successful in this world without sacrificing core values. ”
