Catholic Franciscan Identity

Franciscan education is committed to the development of the "whole person." Our goal to instill in our students the skills necessary for a lifetime of learning, giving them an appreciation for others and those less fortunate and developing in them a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As a Franciscan high school, we are called to permeate our society with Gospel vales. We are to be instruments of change and heralds of peace in a broken world, reaching out to all people, especially the poor and marginalized, through service, reconciliation and healing. Roger Bacon is committed to creating an environment in which religious faith is valued and nourished – where community service is fostered and individual and group expressions of Franciscan values are encouraged.

Goals

Promote Community Service

• Community service develops social responsibility, provides an appreciation of cultural diversity and a broader dense of “community,” and advances personal growth and value development.

Increase Community Partnerships

• Sharing our Franciscan charism with outside organizations, to include grade schools, other high schools and colleges, provides opportunities for our students to experience and interact with others within the framework of our Catholic, Franciscan education.
