Mission

The mission of the Department of Catholic Schools is to help our Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Tucson create the best possible atmosphere and enviornment for faith, academic excellence, and service that are integral to the life of every student.

In order to fulfill this mission, we believe in these core values:

1. Providing spiritual formation for faculty and staff and instilling in them a strong sense of Catholic virtue and service.

2. Maintaining high academic standards in every school by promoting staff development programs that will ensure excellence in teaching.

3. Ensuring long-term financial stability in our schools.

4. Reinforcing the need for just wages and benefits for administrators, faculty and staff.

5. Marketing Catholic education in the Diocese to increase overall enrollment.
