Diversity & Inclusion at Saint John’s High School

Called by our faith and inspired by our mission, Saint John’s High School believes that each individual – student, faculty, staff, parent, guardian, board member, alumnus - is created uniquely in the image and likeness of God.

Deeply rooted in our tradition as a Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School, we are committed to “respect and appreciation for individual differences” and “the idea of the interdependence of individual members” of our community (Saint John’s Mission Statement). We believe that by celebrating our individual gifts and differences, we are embracing and reflecting the motto of the Xaverian Brothers, “In harmony small things grow.”

With zeal, we strive for justice and engage in community building with the fostering of compassion for all. 

Saint John’s believes that it is in the unity of our diversity that we find humility and build trust in order to develop an atmosphere in which the dignity of each person is nurtured and valued through respect and understanding.

We endeavor to bring our whole selves to campus every day.
We hold ourselves and each other to a high standard of respect, social justice and accountability. We stand in solidarity with the marginalized.
