MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Bishop Montgomery High School is to provide a diverse student body with a college-preparatory education rooted in Catholic identity. We challenge all students to reach their potential through a rigorous academic program and participation in faith formation and varied extracurricular activities. In a community that nourishes the faith life of the students, parents, and staff through prayer, worship, and commitment to service, Bishop Montgomery forms leaders, critical thinkers, and individuals who are prepared to integrate world knowledge with Catholic beliefs and values.
STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
Jesus Christ is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (Jn 14:6). Rooted in this belief, Bishop Montgomery High School proclaims the centrality of Christ. Our philosophy is founded on the belief that God has revealed His compassion for all aspects of life.
In order to grow together in Christ, we open our arms and hearts to a population of qualified candidates who are economically, socially, and ethnically diverse. "There is no longer Jew or Greek, male or female, slave or free, but all are one in Christ Jesus" (Gal 3:28). Thus, while we accept and respect those from various backgrounds who seek the benefit of our community, we remain faithful to the richness of our Catholic tradition and practices.
Recognizing parents as primary educators, we assist in the spiritual, intellectual, social and physical development of every student. To do this, we provide a challenging, college-oriented curriculum which enables our students to continue with higher education. We offer an extensive, extracurricular program, one that requires personal responsibility and community spirit through social interaction and physical activity. We strive to create an atmosphere in which the faith of our students will mature allowing them to integrate world knowledge with the light of faith and to grow in the pursuit of truth.
NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY
The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, national origin, and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools.
While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student's emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student's needs.
[Note that this School Student Non-Discrimination Policy does not provide nor imply that the archdiocese waives any legal exceptions or exemptions that may apply to it as a religious nonprofit organization.]
