**Message to DLT - Please review the following documents and make any changes.** **Mission** **Statement (revised, 2/27/12):** Father Judge High School provides a climate of academic excellence within a safe environment for young men from diverse backgrounds. Rooted in the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales, we educate the whole student through the dissemination and infusion of spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and social values 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//! **Revised 2/27/12**

= Profiles of Graduates - Revised 2/27/12 = Middle States’ experience since the introduction of AFG and VTV has been that many schools fail to align their student performance objectives with the culminating expectations for its graduates. The reason for this is that many schools have never stated these expectations in a formal way; they are often just “assumed.”

The intent of AFG and VTV is that a school’s student performance objectives will be focused on areas in which there is a gap between what is expected of the school’s graduates and their current performance levels. Therefore, AFG and VTV now require that all schools develop a formal Profile of Graduates so there is agreement regarding what graduates are expected to know, what they are expected to be able to do with what they know, and the characteristics or qualities they are expected to demonstrate. When the Profile is established, the Planning Team will examine the current data and information about the level of student performance in each of those areas and determine where gaps occur. The gaps with the highest priority for growth and improvement should be the focus of the student performance objectives.
