SCHOOL PRAYER

We thank you for the charism of André Coindre, the selfless service of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, and the sanctuary that is Brother Martin High School.

Please continue to bless us with leaders, teachers, and students of wisdom and compassion who love us, form us, challenge us, and inspire us.

Enlighten our minds, sanctify our hearts, strengthen our wills, and grace us with courage and trust to meet the needs of our changing world,

We ask all of this through your son Jesus Christ. Amen.

EXCELLENCE

“

Our academic programs strive not only to prepare students for the challenges of

a variety of colleges and universities, but also to prepare them for life: we use a curriculum designed to make them careful readers, expressive writers, technology appliers, and faithful and empathetic thinkers. From the novels our students read to the online tools they use for writing and collaborating and everything in between, we hope to produce confident thinkers who use their heads and their hearts.

“ We believe that high quality extracurricular programs help to develop

student’s pride in their school and in themselves. If students feel goodabout themselves and about their school’s extracurricular activities,there is a better chance that they will feel good about classroom work,discipline, and any other aspects of school that are necessary to developthem into the type of persons God has created them to be.
