The Mission of RBHS

Rooted in the Franciscan values of holiness and learning, self-discipline and compassion, Roger Bacon is a Catholic high school which develops the hearts, minds, and bodies of its young men and women in a caring and challenging environment.

Inscribed above the front doors, our motto reads “In Holiness and Learning.” This is the essence of Roger Bacon, a coeducational high school that provides a superior education – both academically and spiritually. We challenge our students to achieve academic excellence, to remain dedicated to community service and to form a life-long commitment to Christ.
