Mission & Vision
Our Mission
We, the Catholic School of Visalia—George McCann Memorial Campus, educate children to learn, lead and serve in the spirit of Jesus Christ
Our mission is to provide a nurturing, Christ-centered educational environment where students are empowered to achieve academic excellence, grow in faith, and develop moral integrity. Guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church, we foster a spirit of compassion, leadership, and service to others, preparing students to become responsible, faith-filled members of their communities. Through a holistic approach to education, we inspire a love of learning, a commitment to justice, and a lifelong relationship with God.
Our Philosophy
Instilling the importance of Education
At George McCann Memorial Catholic School we instill in our students the importance of education as spiritual and intellectual preparation for the unique mission in life to which God calls each of us. We are a family of parents, students, educators and parishioners who strive to create a Catholic faith community through a quality education based on gospel values.
Faith, Learning, and Community: Preparing Students for God's Call
We are deeply committed to the growth of the student’s whole person—spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and cultural. Staff members realize the power of their personal example and model love and respect. They recognize the person of Christ in the lives of each person in the classroom, the entire school, and in our parish community. Students, staff members, and parents experience a sense of belonging. A carefully nurtured atmosphere of security and acceptance enables students’ talents and knowledge to blossom, to develop a positive self-image.
Our students are encouraged to develop:
Responsiblity
Recognizing their talents as tools for loving and serving God and others.
Respect
For themselves, one another, and the world around them.
Resourcefulness
To develop creative problem-solving abilities and fostering the student’s desire to learn.
