Bishop Garcia Diego Educates the Whole Person

Karen Regan is the head of school at Bishop Garcia Diego High School, and she explains how the Catholic education aims to teach the whole student.

How is Bishop Diego working to prepare students spiritually as they head toward college and career? The specific purpose of a Catholic education is the formation of young men and women who will be good citizens of this world, loving God and neighbor, and enriching society. A Christian attitude is at the core of everything we do.

Bishop Diego’s “core values” reflect a commitment to respect, perseverance, and compassion. How are these values integrated into the curriculum and student experience? School leadership, faculty, staff, students, and parents model a definite respect for each other. The core values provide the standards and guidance to maintain the good order indispensable for the pursuits of spiritual and personal development and intellectual excellence. The core values are intended to assist in achieving the delicate and necessary balance between freedom and restraint and are based on learning and meeting the standards and traditions that guide how we relate to each other, our school family, the community at large, and the environment.
