PHILOSOPHY
San Gabriel Mission High School (SGMHS) is a Catholic parish secondary school community which commits itself to the mission of Christian education dedicated to the Dominican charism of “the Search for Truth Together.” The school offers a college preparatory program to young women of diverse backgrounds who strive toward their potential.
The mission of the administration, faculty and staff is modeled after Jesus Christ the Teacher. The school recognizes parents as primary educators and, as such, an essential part of the SGMHS family. The school acknowledges their experiences and insights and commits itself to work with them.
SGMHS provides a nurturing environment for the students to develop their interest and broaden their awareness of world issues as it teaches them life skills within the context of a Christian community. Such an environment promotes ongoing learning and enables them to approach knowledge not only as content to be learned, but also as a lifelong process to be cultivated and applied.
SGMHS seeks to nurture the whole person with Jesus as the model. It is committed to providing students with an environment that supports their spiritual, moral, academic, emotional, social, physical and cultural development.
The graduates of SGMHS are young women who have learned to make liberating, responsible decisions, which reflect internalized religious and moral values. Imbued with a respect for life and human dignity, our young women are challenged to integrate knowledge and practice faith, hope, and love in today’s world.
SGMHS MISSION STATEMENT

SGMHS VISION STATEMENT
