Christian Brothers High School’s Strategic Plan for 2021-2026 was facilitated by Bob Tift of Partners in Mission.
The mission of Christian Brothers High School is to provide young men a college-preparatory education in the Catholic and Lasallian traditions. Thus, we welcome, encourage, and support religious, ethnic, and economic diversity; and we acknowledge the importance of service to the poor as we prepare students to become responsible adults in the global community.
our vision •
CBHS will build upon its 150-year Lasallian tradition of transforming lives by committing to excellence in teaching, instilling a love of learning, fostering ongoing moral development, and embracing innovative technology in an everchanging world.
•
Decisions must be guided by a moral compass that is instilled on a day-to-day basis in our classrooms.
•
The world will continue to develop technologically, and technical skills will be a basic requirement in every field.
•
Globalization will continue and will require knowledge of cultures and languages, social problems, history, and geography.
