OPEN
TO ANY CHILD REGARDLESS OF RACE, GENDER, CREED, COLOR OR NATIONAL
ORIGIN.
As a
Catholic school community, we consider all life a precious gift from
God. Enriched by Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, children are
given the tools needed to answer God's call in their family and
community.
To
make Christianity a living experience by teaching Christian values,
doctrine, and by providing opportunities for the awareness of God as
the main support of life.
To witness
within the school and community an atmosphere of faith, love, and
concern for others.
To recognize the
dignity of each student and to promote a healthy self-concept.
To
assist faculty, children, and parents in understanding the teachings of
the Church in the light of continual renewal and growth.
The schools of the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana, admit
students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights,
privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to
students at its schools. They do not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, national or ethnic origin in administration of their educational
policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and
other school-administered programs.
Additionally, in compliance with Title IX of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, no person in the schools of the Diocese shall, on the basis of
sex, be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, or be
subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity except as
permitted under said Title IX.
This policy applies to all schools under diocesan auspices.
