Matthew 19:14 A person responding to the ministry call to teach in a Catholic school…has multiple roles within the classroom and school community. The teacher serves as a Christian role model, catechist, instructor and counselor. A teacher in the Catholic school…strives to integrate academic instruction, life experience and prayer in his/her own faith life and in those of the students. Therefore, a teacher must be open to: • Growing in faith and understanding of the Church and facilitating the growth of faith and understanding in the lives of students • Being a person of prayer who endeavors to develop a sense of prayer within the students and school community • Fostering a community among the students, parish and staff, characterized by participation in the sacramental life of the Church, discussion and cooperation as citizens of the world and expressed through service and social action for peace and justice within the school and extended community Yearbook Permission Form  EIC Sports Web Page Link  Check out the new Sports Page  View 2011-2012 Calendar Events  A Honey of a Story  Twitter Facebook NCEA
