Philosophy and Objectives
“Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13: 34) is the command of Jesus Christ to those who follow Him. Pensacola Catholic High School believes this command is a mandate for Catholic education. The school philosophy is based on a desire to understand and follow the Scriptures and Tradition of the Catholic Church.
The school desires to lead students in the development of a value system that will prepare them for the challenges of life with its hope and promise.
To enable students “to reach full maturity in Christ” (Eph. 4:13) — spiritually, intellectually, culturally, socially and physically — the school strives to help them realize their place and role as Christians in an increasingly interdependent global society. Love must be the central theme of the students’ development in order for them to understand this interdependence since God calls everyone to respond to His vision of peace and justice.
