ARCHBISHOP GEORGE NIEDERAUER

ith this letter, I invite you to consider enrollment in one of the fourteen excellent Catholic high schools within the Archdiocese of San Francisco. This annual guide offers a fine resource for you in your search for the right match for your son or daughter. I hope you will take the time to carefully read through the information provided about each school in this special issue. As you do so, I believe you will gain an appreciation for the Christ-centered culture provided throughout the Archdiocese, and the remarkable quality of the educational programs and activities designed to prepare the hearts and minds of our children for the future.

STEPS FOR APPLYING TO CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOLS

1.

2.

When I first arrived in San Francisco to begin my work as your Archbishop, one of my most delightful discoveries was the excellent Catholic school system here. The vitality, expertise and dedication of faculties and staffs are a great gift to the Church and to the entire community. Beyond the academic preparation for college and the opportunity to excel in athletics, though, the young women and men attending our Catholic high schools can grow into a more mature knowledge and practice of their faith, and will find many opportunities to serve those in most need in our community. It is hard to overestimate the importance and impact of these life-changing experiences.

The four years of high school are extremely important in a student’s life.

May God bless and guide you as you begin the important task of considering the best placement for your son or daughter. I look forward to seeing you in the future at one of these exemplary schools.

Most Reverend George Niederauer Apostolic Administrator

“This school is giving my child an incredible education and turning him into a great human being. He’s already making wise decisions about who he wants to become.”

– STUART HALL HIGH SCHOOL PARENT

ABOUT US

For 125 years, the educational mission of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus has thrived in San Francisco through the Schools of the Sacred Heart.

Convent of the Sacred Heart High School & Stuart Hall High School are the older siblings within our family of independent, Catholic schools, each committed to educate to: a personal and active faith in God, a deep respect for intellectual values, a social awareness that compels to action, the building of community as a Christian value and personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom.

Our students find a challenging curriculum that provides them with a strong foundation to meet the demands of highly competitive college entrance. They find single-sex classrooms in a co-ed environment, which is unique in San Francisco; they find a community that gives them the confidence to think critically and reflect thoughtfully on the big questions in life; they find accomplished faculty who help them achieve and grow.

But most of all, our students find a launching pad to a life bursting with potential, with meaning, with purpose.

SIBLING HIGH SCHOOLS

Single-sex classes within a co-ed community. Current research tells us what we are able to see on our campuses everyday: Our students feel comfortable, focused and free to learn in our small, single-sex classes. And while we respect the formative differences between young men and young women, we also respect their need to grow alongside each other as social and intellectual peers. So you will find that some of our Advanced Placement and World Language classes are co-ed, and you will find our guys and girls getting together for service projects, for electives, for basketball games, for theater performances—and all of the other things that make high school so much fun.

OUR CURRICULUM

Our students engage in serious study and have a lot of fun doing it.

The academic programs at Convent & Stuart Hall provide students with the knowledge, cognitive skills and sense of self to succeed in college and life.

This year, for example, some classes experimented with iPad applications to help with their studies. Convent High School students in the Conservation Biology of the Redwoods course gave original research to biologists to use in their database. Stuart Hall students in AP Environmental Science learned how to identify and analyze environmental principles and problems in theory, and were then given a chance to dig a little deeper during environmental service projects. An newly expanded elective program allows students to participate in instrumental music, photography, journalism and many other endeavors—some of which are co-ed—during the regular school day. All the while, our students benefit from innovative instruction developed by faculty who understand how to meet students wherever they are.

ATHLETICS & ACTIVITIES

Our students want to get in the game. Through athletics, fine and performing arts and clubs, our students have many chances to get involved—and stand out. The Convent Cubs and Stuart Hall Knights each field more than a dozen varsity and junior varsity sport teams and are competitive in the independent high school Bay Counties League West.

We also offer seven sports teams that are co-ed. Students on each campus run service projects, produce dramas and musicals, write for their school newspapers, join clubs, form bands and lead their student governments.

Our students work hard together and excel together.

THE NETWORK OF SACRED HEART SCHOOLS

Small classes, big community, bigger world. The Network of Sacred Heart Schools has 23 member schools in the United States and more than 140 worldwide. This allows for our students to participate in service programs, group workshops and exchanges all over the world.

The international character of Sacred Heart education brings global awareness home to our students. Wherever our students go, they find an enriched understanding of themselves, their place in the world and their concept of family.

“My child has blossomed here, and not just academically.

She’s so capable and confident. She’s become a true leader and has really found her voice.”

PROFILE

Junípero Serra High School is an outstanding Catholic college preparatory school for young men. Located in San Mateo, in the heart of the Peninsula between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, it is a place where classmates become brothers and teachers become mentors. We recognize that the transition from eighth grade to high school, or from one high school to another, is a significant life event. New Padres will find teachers, staff and classmates who will embrace and support them as they explore interests in a variety of areas—academics, athletics, clubs, student government, social activities and service learning experiences—all in the context of our core values of faith, wisdom, service, community and leadership.

Serra prepares students not only for the rigors of university, but also for the challenges of 21st century adulthood. We offer a rigorous college preparatory curriculum which includes extensive class offerings that allow students to exceed UC and CSU requirements. More than 25 AP and honors courses are offered in English, science, mathematics, world languages and social studies. Elective courses range from Virtual Enterprise and Business Law to Films Theory & Production and Architectural Design. Our current AP pass rate is among the best in the Bay Area, and our students consistently score well above the California and national averages on SATs. Ninety-nine percent of our graduates leave Serra for colleges and universities throughout the country, from East Coast Ivy League schools to outstanding institutions in California, both public and private. During their four years at Serra, students are supported by our College and Career Center. Five full-time counselors provide the resources and expertise to help students and their families choose the right colleges, investigate scholarship opportunities and explore career options.

SPIRITUALITY AND SERVICE

At Junípero Serra High School, the educational process, grounded in the Catholic tradition, affirms the dignity of the human person. It is our hope that every Serra graduate will become a man who gives of himself to others.

That’s why our students don’t just learn about spirituality and service—they live it. They grow in heart, mind and soul in their study of theology and across all program areas. Our exceptional Campus Ministry program is at the heart of all we do. Students plan and participate in liturgies and prayer services, take part in reflective retreats, reach out to support one another and the community around them, and explore their own faith as they grow in their understanding of the Gospel.

Our service learning program helps students to put their faith into action locally, nationally and around the globe. Padres have helped to rebuild homes in New Orleans, repair homes in Appalachia, work with disabled orphans in Jamaica, teach English to children and seminarians in Vietnam, and labor side-by-side with migrant farm workers in the Salinas Valley. Serra also partners with the St. Anthony’s Foundation, Second Harvest Food Bank and other local organizations, giving students an opportunity to serve the less fortunate in our own backyard. Students are required to serve 80 hours of Christian service during their four years of high school. Most of our recent graduating seniors exceeded the minimum requirement, some logging several hundred hours. Together, the Class of 2012 performed more than 33,000 hours of Christian service.

VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS

We know that the arts play a unique role in the communication of ideas and emotions of the human spirit, nurturing the moral, psychological, spiritual and social growth of all students. Serra’s highly acclaimed Visual and Performing Arts program offers students opportunities to express and challenge their creativity in a number of ways including: • Symphonic Band • Beginning and Intermediate Guitar • Jazz Band • Beginning and Intermediate Percussion • Pep Band • Basic and Advanced Art • String Orchestra • Ceramics • Men’s Chorus • Architectural Design • Mixed Chorus • Films Theory & Production • Dramatic & Musical Theater Production

A rich tradition of athletic competition is a source of pride for our entire community. Serra is a place where athletes become champions. Just step into our gym to view the championship banners and the Hall of Fame plaques— Serra’s proven record of athletic success is second to none!

At Serra, you don’t have to be an athlete to participate in our athletic program. Numerous opportunities exist for students in areas that support our teams. Students play integral roles as team managers, statisticians, student athletic trainers and event management staff. They also assist the athletic director, writing articles and taking photos that are posted to Twitter and the Serra website.

Padre team sports include: • Baseball • Soccer • Basketball • Crew • Tennis • Cross Country • Track and Field • Football • Volleyball • Golf • Water Polo • Lacrosse • Wrestling • Swimming • Diving

TRI-SCHOOL PROGRAM

The Tri-School Program, a partnership with our sister schools Notre Dame (Belmont) and Mercy (Burlingame), brings the best of both worlds to Serra students. This collaborative effort affords our students the proven benefits of single-gender education while providing significant coeducational opportunities on each other’s campuses, including classes, clubs, retreats, social events, and music and drama productions. Supporting and growing our Tri-School offerings is a high priority for all three schools.

Our roots, wide and deep, help our students grow into men and women committed to faith & justice, leadership & service, academic excellence & compassion.

SI’s top-notch college preparatory education helps students get into schools that are best suited for them, from the most selective universities to the ones that are tailor made for their specific needs. Our grads have done some amazing things since the founding of the school and will tell you that SI helped them grow into people who care more about serving others than about fame or fortune.

PHILOSOPHY

SI strives to develop young women and men of competence, conscience, and compassion; to develop students who strive toward the Jesuit ideal of the magis: a thirst for the more, for the greater good, for the most courageous response to the challenges of our time in the fullest development of students’ talents, and for a life-long disposition to serve. We encourage students to go outside their comfort zone and discover new skills and passions.

We seek to mirror the wonderfully diverse region that we serve. SI is committed to diversity of all sorts—ethnic, geographic, religious, and socio-economic.

CURRICULUM & CO-CURRICULUM

On average, SI students score 100 points higher on the SAT verbal section and 75 points higher on the math section compared to California and U.S. averages. Our AP program, in which our students can earn college credit while still at SI, is among the to 1% in the U.S. More important than test scores is the joy, passion, and growth students experience in their courses. The knowledge and skills they acquire lead to wisdom, understanding, and action.

Our students shine in the classroom, on the stage, on the playing field, and in countless service agencies throughout the city where they volunteer their time and talent. The co-currifular life of the student is just as important as math and English lessons.

SI’s Campus Ministry Program helps the school live up to the Jesuit idea of cura personalis (care for the whole person). Through an extensive and comprehensive student retreat program, which serves more than 98% of the student body, we seek to help students grow spiritually, to connect them to the divine, and to help them love as Christ loved, by serving those who need help the most.

Superintendent of Cathlic Schools

W

elcome back to a new school year! I am always amazed at how quickly summer vacation comes to an end. Our eighth graders are gearing up for one of the busiest times in their young lives. The process of selecting the right Catholic high school to attend is both exciting and scary. Soon our eighth graders will be registering for the High School Placement Test, shadowing at our high schools trying to get a feel for each high school.

In March the registration process begins. Selecting the right combination of student’s needs, talents, and interests with a high school that can meet all of these varying needs is a huge challenge. Fortunately, we are blessed with a variety of excellent high schools where each student can find a place that feels like home. Each of our Catholic high schools is unique in culture and environment. They are deeply committed to teaching and living the values of our Catholic faith. The commitment toward academic excellence is evident at each campus and in each classroom.

Each Catholic high school is unique in size, culture, charism, and environment. Students are treasured for their individuality, talents, and interests.

The teachers and administrators at each school work closely with parents to make sure each student receives the attention they need to be academically successful, and the support and encouragement they need to grow and mature into faith filled adults. This ethical and moral formation provides our young people with the foundation they need to grow into adults with strong moral decision-making skills.

Seriously consider a Catholic High School for your son or daughter. These four years of high school will all make a world of difference to your child.

WHY CHOOSE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL?

HOW CAN I GET THE MOST SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR MY CHILD DURING THE NEXT FOUR YEARS? The community environment experienced in Catholic schools fully supports students in their spiritual and academic growth. Teachers dedicate themselves to helping students achieve their full potential.

I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THE EXPENSE OF A CATHOLIC EDUCATION; WHAT CAN I DO? All Catholic high schools in the San Francisco Archdiocese have substantial scholarship and financial aid programs for students andfamilies who qualify.

WHAT CAN A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL DO FOR MY CHILD? The teaching of Catholic values and faith formation are core to th curriculum in Catholic high schools. Equally important is the religious community of adults surrounding Catholic schools, which supports the schools’ mission. Catholic schools mandate that their students take more college preparatory classes. Catholic schools provide a challenging academic curricula in which students thrive, particularly in religious studies, mathematics, science, English and other core subjects.

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS FOR CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES? Over 98% of Catholic school graduates in the San Francisco Archdiocese enroll in colleges and universities.

WHAT FINANCIAL HELP IS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST A FAMILY WITH THE EXPENSE OF A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION Significant scholarship and financial assistance programs help families meet tuition responsibilities. In the 2011-2012 school year, more than $21.7 million in financial assistance was given by Catholic high schools within the Archdiocese. At the time of application to a Catholic high school, parents should inquire about programs available through the individual high school and through the San Francisco Archdiocese.
