SPECIAL SENIOR ISSUE
We believe students are best prepared for life when they graduate from our campus as people of character. The Portrait of a Saint is a shared community value system where we recognize the importance of seven values: Guided by Integrity, Creative Problem Solver, Faithful
Community Member, Effective Communicator, Empathetic Global Citizen, Committed to Personal Growth, and Valuable Collaborator. The development of these values is fully integrated into all facets of school life. Keep reading to learn about a few standout Saints who exemplify these values well.

Ihave learned to love myself and also strive to better myself and the world around me. I try to look at others in the same way, always remembering that we are in different places in our lives with different things going on, but with plenty in common to keep us grounded.
All Saints’ has shown me what a leader looks like through the ways teachers and staff support me, always with a smile on their face. I know there is so much more going on behind the scenes, so many students they are serving, and I couldn’t feel more prepared to tackle college having seen their example. I’m ready to find out what my next chapter of success looks like, to show that I can be independent and continue growing.
Saints engage with others to achieve a common goal. They use skills intentionally to increase understanding, build relationships, resolve conflict, and foster unity.
Saints value placing God at the center and make time for spiritual reflection and the intentional practice of wisdom, compassion, and great humility. Saints honor the religious, spiritual, and ethical traditions of each member of our diverse community.
