Don't you just love "Eduspeak"?

Thank you for posting that laughable "mission statement." Does anyone see it? There is no mission. None whatsoever.

The true purpose of a school follows from the true purpose of human life (to know, love and serve God in this life and to be happy forever with him in the next). The central purpose of a true education then is to aid a child in learning to know, love and serve God in this life and to be happy forever with him in the next.

"Thomas", your namesake, would admire you and your cause but its the wrong approach to concentrate on in order to win your popsitive and noble goal.....

Have a nice day.

You know that, and I know that, but you could never have that as a mission statement for a public school. The closest secular equivalant would be to help the students grow to their greatest human potential (which IS to know, love and serve God in this life and to be happy forever with him in the next!)
