Our Philosophy

 

We, the faculty and staff of J. E. Cosgriff Memorial Catholic School, see ourselves as commissioned by the Church and delegated by parents to teach the children entrusted to our care. Together we strive to help each students come to self-awareness as one gifted by God. We place great emphasis on promoting and fostering self-worth, dignity and potential.
It is our goal to nurture Catholic identity in a Christian environment by involving students in prayer and worship, and by serving as Catholic role models. We strive to instill in our students: knowledge, the desire to be of service to others, and the importance of and respect for the diversity that exists in our school and the world. Thus our students will be able to meet the challenge of living in a diverse and global community.
