Our Virtues
Jesus told a story about a good shepherd.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)
In this story, the shepherd:
- Knows each sheep by name.
- Keeps them safe.
- Leads them in the right direction.
- Does not run away when things are hard.
This story shapes who we are as a school. It reminds us that every person matters, every person belongs, and every person has value.
Our six virtues grow from this story.
