** Mission Statement **
Father Judge High School provides a climate of academic excellence within a safe environment that respects the diversity of each student. Rooted in the spirituality of Saint Francis de Sales, we educate the whole young man spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially in the Catholic tradition.

**Our Belief Statements**  We believe ... 1. …as did our patron Saint, that you should not wish to be anything except who you are and strive to be that well; therefore, a Salesian gentleman manifests a profound respect for God, himself, and all others in a spirit of humility and gentleness.

2. …each student has the capacity to develop his spiritual, emotional, and intellectual gifts to his fullest potential.

3. …our sacramental celebrations promote a sharing and building of our Christian faith community

4 …the student who perseveres in the face of challenge will succeed in life personally, professionally, and spiritually

5 …a willingness to consider, to change, and to implement new ideas is necessary for continuous improvement.

6. …our faculty is committed to modeling life-long learning skills as we prepare students for post-secondary opportunities through rigorous, engaging instruction.

7.…our collaborative community empowers students to become contributing and valued members of a global society.

8. …parents, families, faculty, and other stakeholders work together to incorporate the ideals of caring, trust, and self respect as we help our students reach their goals.

9. …in an increasingly uncertain world, our core values will endure, providing our students with a sense of stability as they face the challenges of the future.

 10. …we will continue our tradition of success: // Non Excidet // !
