When
it comes to describing the St. John the Baptist Catholic
School educational mission, perhaps Janet Erskine Stuart,
rscj, Superior General of the Society of Sacred Heart
from 1911-1914, said it best: "Our educational mission
converges to this - to give personal worth to each child,
worth of character, strength of principles and anchorage
on faith. Those who have to educate the young to something
higher must themselves have an idea of what they want;
they must believe in the possibility of every mind and
character to be lifted up to something better than it
has already attained."
This understanding of the educative breadth of a faculty
member's role is the foundation of the SJB program. St.
John the Baptist Catholic School educates to the whole
person, forming both the heart and mind of its students.
It values and celebrates all forms of excellence, creating
leaders of many different proportions and leaders of conscience.
