Seton Catholic

Seton Catholic Central School acknowledges the God-given dignity of each person and its mission of Catholic Christian education.
Catholic Christian values are upheld and taught within the curriculum and permeate the school environment so that each student may grow and become mature and altruistic members of the world community.
This requires the education of the whole person, spiritually, physically, academically, and aesthetically.
It requires the development of knowledge, personal responsibility, and the discipline necessary for living out the true freedom characteristic of America.
Our aim is to develop a generous and loving concern for all people, with deep respect for God-given individual differences; to instill in our students the desire for continuous learning, self-improvement, and self-respect in order to meet the challenges of life; to inspire the student to make a life-long commitment to Gospel values, social justice, non-violence, and peace in our world today.
We encourage our students to be God-centered, strong, upright, wise and articulate men and women who take their rightful place in the Church and in the world.
Seton Catholic is where academic excellence and Christian values meet.
