School Philosophy

St. Paul High School is a Catholic, coeducational high school owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The school’s primary purpose is to provide a challenging college preparatory education in the Catholic tradition. In keeping with this tradition, the precepts of the Gospel and the teachings of the Church permeate curriculum, programs, and activities. Students are challenged to pursue academic success by utilizing their talents and abilities. Realizing that society is ever-changing, we are committed to developing the character and skills which will help students actively participate in today’s world. As Jesus encouraged the disciples to be one in spirit, we strive to build community. The “St. Paul Family” values mutual concern for one another in a spirit of collaboration and an awareness of our obligation to be responsible citizens. As Christians, we are conscious of our mission to work toward social justice, academic excellence, spiritual growth, athletic success, and artistic development . We encourage our students to demonstrate integrity and honesty in their daily lives, to be considerate of individual rights and properties, and to have respect for all. Acknowledging that parents are the primary educators of their children, we collaborate in building a stronger sense of community and support one another in the nurturing of the spiritual and academic growth of our students.
