DISCIPLINE

The legacy Catholic schools have inherited speaks not only of the quality of educational programs but also of exemplary discipline. Catholic schools are appreciated and valued because of their  disciplinary codes that teach students self-discipline. Students are taught to respect God and others, and to be of service for the good of others.

In order to continue this legacy, everyone in the school community needs to be conscious of developing self-discipline, learning the necessary skills, and accepting responsibility for carrying out these tasks.

Major disciplinary problems will be brought to the principal’s attention and to the attention of the parents of the child involved.
